Pete B. is right about changing both. I changed the right rear about 6 months ago, now I'm crawling under the truck to change the left rear.

@CarlosRojas-oy7pm 2 года назад

Man thanks a lot, today I started my truck and I saw all those lights on, I really freaked out, well it turned out my dog had bitten cut one of the cable. So thanks to you I knew that the cable was the problem, I put them back together and I started the engine, and the lights were gone. Thanks a lot mate, greets from Chile!

@johnnysimpatico 2 года назад

Thanks for the great video. 30 minutes of labor and the problem was fixed! I found it easier to remove the 8mm bolt and the sensor before disconnecting it from the plug (and likewise connecting the replacement before bolting it in). It strikes me that it's easier separating the sensor from the plug when it's in a less restrictive space and when one can get a grip on the two parts to be separated. Also, the red tab on the left-rear wheel was hidden from view until I removed the bolt and the sensor connected to the wiring.

Had a 2012 Ram 1500 go through the shop this past week with the same issue. I ordered the 2 sensors for the rear wheels. Took the old ones out to find they were completely covered in dried mud/dust. I used shop air to blow out the area where the sensor sits, and a ton of dust and dirt came out. I installed the new sensors and lifted the vehicle a couple feet off the ground and put it in drive. The lights disappeared around 10 MPH and did NOT return. Another confirmed fix! Thanks for the tip, as the vehicle threw no codes concerning the abs light and the traction control light.

It has to relearn. I have changed mine several times. 2011 116,000 MI. The last time I changed the front ones. It was cheaper to get the bearing assembly w/sensor than just by a sensor. I also found out when my back up sensor light came on,.That I could clean them with wd40. Went right back to working. I thought this might work on my speed sensors. So I cleaned them up.and right back to working. It don't mean it will be that way every time I guess, But so far so good. The brakes on the front ha e locked up.twice because of them. I.had to replace everything in less than 10,000 MI. It would not go.into economy 4 cylinder. You don't really notice it at first. Then you smell it. I pulled over and it locked.up.tight. The wheels were smoking hot. Another problem is there is no cabin filter in it. You can get.a kit for it.simple to install. The outside pollutants clogged.up.my evaporator tomorrow part of the dash.will have to come out to change it. I'm gonna rebuild the blower box while I have it out. The cabin filters are very important. Find out it your vehicle has one and change it. Also you.can use the re-cycle button on the a/c. That will stop most pollutants. Not make the same mistake I did, Its very costly. and time consuming. GOD BLESS

@hybredmoon 2 года назад

Man I wish I could buy you a beer. I went to the dealership for this EXACT issue, ABS error message started coming on randomly and then eventually it comes on and stays on every time I move the truck. They plugged their little doo-dad into the dash and said "It's an internal error, we need to replace the whole abs module. We can do it next month and it'll cost $1900." I laughed in their faces. I found this video after 15 minutes of looking online, I'm picking up $20 worth of sensors from the parts store tomorrow. If this works I'm a good mind to go back to that dealership and take them to task for being scam artists.

Thanks much Pete. Replaced both sensors on my 2012 Ram. One came off as you show but the other one was stuck despite my many threats and foul language. So I removed the bolt and pulled out the whole affair. If you look at the sensor end with the bolt hole on the right and there are two rails attached to the sensor. Similar to pistol rails. Use a pair of needle nose pliers, grab one of the rails and pull out the sensor.

These are ONLY on the back wheels then? Nothing on the front? Having similar problem. The lights on dash stopped happening, but now my ABS will randomly kick on during normal braking around town. Brakes still work but its an uncomfortable feeling and probably makes brakes work less effectively.
