This time I tackle some issues with the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on my 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen.
The speed sensor was causing issues with the DSG not shifting properly as well as causing the ABS, Traction Control, TPMS, and Airbag error lights to come on.

For all who have asked, the code reader I'm using is a Hex-V2 from Ross-Tech.com, software is their VCDS. Also known as VAG-COM.. These are specific to VAG vehicles and are well worth the investment if you have a VAG car that you plan to keep/work on for any length of time.

Proud (and brave) owner of Scirocco 1.4 tsi petrol engine here... Hello! My testimony after this thorough and simple video (which I gratefully thank you for putting out!): - sensor replaced: lights still on; - magnetic ring wheel bearing replaced (it was needed and to further troubleshoot): lights still on. Since live data showed that rear left wheel sensor was soundingly collecting data and no diagnosis errors report other than right wheel: - Still need to check cables from rear left wheel up to abs control unit and if anomaly isn't from there, need to check fuses, voltage/power/etc from that end. ...this is an exhaustive process since I'm not a mechanic and these darn lights started their Christmas by themselves after 1 year of routine driving with no issue whatsoever... Hope still is intact but the headache factor of these little nothings that are of considerable number in VW systems and cars is starting to be very very annoying.

@VHickleGarage 2 месяца назад

Very frustrating, I guess I got off easy with it only being the sensor. I'm a little confused though. . .If you're not getting any errors on the left side why check the wiring for that side? You did install the correct replacement sensor for location correct? . . .i.e. you didn't put a right front sensor on the right rear, etc? I've hear of the abs module itself going bad, but I have fortunately not had to deal with that issue.

@marcelosilva9429 2 месяца назад

@@VHickleGarage maybe I fumbled my words. The error exists and reports the rear right wheel only. The driving data reports all three other sensors registering speed minus the rear right wheel. Hence the needed wiring inspection and (hopefully not for now) the ABS module revision. To answer your questions straight up: nope. The sensor is correctly installed.

Had this happen to me today, I just had my tires changed and rotated 3 days prior to the Christmas tree so the mechanic probably got the sensor dirty or it just broke (49,000ish miles), I don't have any software to clear codes so its time to take it back to the shop.

@VHickleGarage 3 года назад

From what I understand, it's a pretty common issue, so probably nothing the tire shop did. If you clean/replace the sensor the lights should go away without clearing the codes. If you're planning to keep the car a long time I would suggest investing in a VAG COM. One saved trip to the shop and it will pay for itself.

@VHickleGarage 7 месяцев назад

Yes the speed sensor fixed my TPMS light. I know it's not true for all Vw's, but the sportwagen doesn't actually have TPMS sensors, it determines whether or not there's an issue based on the speed sensor input. At least I believe that's what I read when I first looked into it.

@nbpt1000 2 года назад

What software are you using to read your Error codes? The Wheel sensor are Hall Effect sensors and work off of induction produced from the steel tone ring rotating. Dirt(road grime) on the outside of the sensor should not have any practical effect. A damaged tone ring is something that people should visually check right a way. Excessive Rust can cause them to fall apart. As long as there are no metal particles shorting out to ground, it should work. That would be a lot of metal particles.

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I'm using VCDS along with the appropriate VAG-COM from Ross Tech. You're right on cleaning. . . It didn't accomplish anything. Someone on one of the forums had suggested it, so I figured it was worth a try before buying a new sensor. There was a lot of crud on the old sensor, either way it was worth cleaning it all up before installing the new sensor.

@VHickleGarage Год назад

Thank You! If you replace the faulty sensor then your CEL will probably go away like mine did. There may still be codes stored in the computer, but it won't cause any issues. Just keep a close eye on your wheel bearing, if it's making noise then you should replace that too. If it fails catastrophically then it can be very dangerous.

Thank you for the video! I have the same lights coming on my 2012 Jetta SE and scanned it to find out my rear right ABS speed sensor is also malfunctioning. I feel the same transmission issues with gear hunting you described. However, I also hear this sound coming from under the car, best way I can describe it is as if a branch was caught underneath and being dragged on the road. It is not always present and it is rhythmic, increasing when I accelerate and decreasing when I brake. It also seems to be more present when turning. Is this something you experienced/Do you think replacing the speed sensor would fix this? Or is there a bigger issue with my brakes or wheel bearing?

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

That noise shouldn't be related to the speed sensor. Sounds like it's possibly a bearing or CV Joint (axles) issue. I have some bearing/CV noise as well that comes and goes. I know those are both common issues on these cars. I have all new stuff sitting in the garage, but I haven't gotten around to swapping them yet. If your noise is intermittent then it's probably not dire yet, but something to think about doing soon.

@VHickleGarage 9 месяцев назад

Lol pretty sure that was unrelated. I have a random issue with that one that I've never figured out, but it's pretty rare so it hasn't bothered me much.

Great video thank you. We’re can I get the code reader wire ? Do you need any special software to use it?

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

Thank You! ross-tech.com/ They offer the software for free but you do have to buy the cable. It's a little pricey, but well worth the investment if you're going to keep the vehicle for a while. One saved trip to the shop and it pays for itself..

So I’m currently going through the same thing with my 2015 vw Jetta I ordered my new censors and they’ll be here Tuesday but I don’t have a way of clearly out the lights like you did with the computer

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

You might get lucky and have the lights clear themselves after you replace the sensor. If not you may be able to take it to an auto parts store and have them clear the codes. I'm not sure if their generic OBD II scanner will clear them or not.

have a 2018 Passat.4 sensors replaced under warranty at different times. When lights come on-limp mode. 45k miles.

@mfbatman9850 2 года назад

I have a similar issue with my Jetta I replaced the sensors but still having the issues with the lights staying on. This helped a lot with changing out the parts. But, I am still seeing the lights as well as the speedometer and odometer are not functioning. I was told by the dealership it was only my sensors that were the problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice.

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I'm not entirely sure. It could be something to do with the computer. Have you scanned it again since replacing all the sensors?

@andytsi7140 2 года назад

I got the same issue but now the car wont start im getting the code 01314 wich is no communication with the ECM. Did you by any chance run into a similar issue? I have a 2016 jetta 1.4t mt transmission

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I'm not sure about that code. I have a no communication issue with the module for the instrument cluster but not the ECM itself. I haven't taken the time to look into the communication issues so unfortunately I couldn't' tell you what's best to chase that down.

@Felipe-xv5nc 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I have been facing a similar issue with my 2011 Passat. The lights on the dashboard only come up when in a long drive +200 miles, then, if the car is stopped for a while, when restarted the error is usually cleaned from the dashboard. I'm not sure what is the root of the issue in my case.

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

My issue started off like that. Then eventually the lights stayed on all the time, until I replaced the sensor.

@Kins432 2 года назад

Same issue with vw cc 2012 The problem is that when i stop for a little while the error cleaned and the diagnostic scanner can not see any errors. Don’t know if i have to scan it when the lights showing for the scanner to catch it! But i can’t expect when it might happen again, to prepare to carry it by the mechanic...

@naveenananth1273 Год назад

Hey !! can you give an update on the downshifting ?? had the same issue with the wheel speed sensors on my polo 6C, Replaced the sensors and have no error codes but that random downshift happens on bad roads, especially from 2nd to 1st gear. is it just how DSG behaves while moving slowly on bad roads?? !!!

@VHickleGarage Год назад

I have had the issue pop up randomly a couple of times since doing the sensor. I haven't been able to pinpoint any other specific thing that is causing it. Definitely not something that is normal operation for the DSG. I would suggest checking the wiring for your sensors, but I would expect that to throw a code. Unfortunately, I haven't dug any deeper into the issue since mine hasn't been acting up.

@rkmlb5005 2 года назад

I have the exact same lights you had, the scanner was saying it was a rear speed sensor both left & right and no communication with the control module, I replaced both sensors and reset the lights but they all came back on except for the airbag light, I don’t know where to go next any ideas ?

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

If you're getting a control module error, and the lights came back after replacing both sensors then it must be the module, or a wiring issue. I'm afraid I can't be much help on that since I haven't dealt with that issue. I have a communication error with my gauges that I haven't figured out yet. It's not really affecting anything so I haven't really tried to troubleshoot.

@shiv.seeking Год назад

Do you know if the Front Left & Rear Left use the Same Sensor ? Or is each position a unique sensor? I need to replace both rear sensors. Dealer gives me unique ones, but online aftermarket just has a Front Left & Right without a rear option so was wondering if I could just use the front ones on the rear ?

@VHickleGarage Год назад

I believe each sensor is unique. You'll need to make sure it's a rear sensor. This one for my 2011 Jetta says it's a rear set: amzn.to/3KzSBTO

@alexisescala 2 года назад

Hello, how are you? I had the same problem in my Passat cc 2012 and after changing the sensor the problem was fixed but sometimes the problem appears again and until that I put my car off the problem exist when you start the car again the problem disappears. Do you have any idea about my problem?

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I would suggest scanning the car again. It sounds like one of the other wheel sensors is possibly going bad. If its not that, then there could be a problem with the computer/module. I don't know what the best method for testing the module.

@samfavreau3818 2 года назад

I have a 2009 mk5 gti and it’s throwing the abs, traction and brake light on. I’m not able to read codes idk y but it also goes into 1st when the beaps start ( rethrowing the codes) I’m also cruising and I have to go to nuteral quickly so it doesn’t blow. Any ideas?

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

It certainly sounds like you also have a bad wheel speed sensor. Unfortunately without being able to pull codes it's just a shot in the dark. The only option would be to just replace all 4, and there's no guarantee that will fix it. I would suggest trying to find someone to scan it for you, or purchasing a VAG-COM from Ross Tech.

@destinychristian7497 2 года назад

I had took my Jetta to a shop, to change 2 front struts, and 2 front ball joints I got my car back and it has all of these lights. Also my speedometer isn’t working with the lights on is this what yours did? They charged me 1700 just for those items. I have 0 lights on and now my engine light is on too.

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I believe the Speedo not working could be bad Wheel Speed Sensors, but I'm not 100% sure. With the work you had done it would seem likely that they either left a sensor unplugged, or damaged one. I would expect you to have warning lights like what I had though. You should take it back to the shop and have them scan it and fix whatever they broke.

@mersudinalimanovic315 Год назад

I'm having the issues with everything you mentioned but my code is a faulty is Abs module could it be the same as tps sensor?

@VHickleGarage Год назад

The Speed Sensor, TPS, and ABS module are all different things. If you're getting the code for the wheel speed sensor then I would start with replacing that first. If you only code is the ABS module then that is most likely your problem.

Hey man!! Thanks for the video, quick question… what’s the program you are using to scam your car with your computer?

@VHickleGarage Год назад

i used VCDS with a VAG-COM cable from Ross Tech. Well worth the money!

@Stolen_Mk7 2 года назад

What codes did you get for the wheel speed sensor? and how did you which one it was??

@VHickleGarage 2 года назад

I got code 00287. In VCDS it said "ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, Right Rear" so it was pretty straightforward.

Please use wooden/rubber blocks between Jackson and stands.. otherwise you remove pant and dent bodywork. Also..you can test your old sensors with an ohmeter to see if they are shot.

It should. If not check the wiring. If it's not that, then it's probably the ABS module, which is going to be a bigger and more expensive repair. WIth as common as this is, it's probably just the sensor. Good Luck!

www.ross-tech.com/ . . . It's a VAG-COM, much more than just a basic OBD II scanner. If you have an VW/Audi car that you plan to work on, and keep for a long time it's well worth the price to buy.

@VHickleGarage 5 месяцев назад

It's still most likely your speed sensor. Many others have reported speedo issues when their sensor was bad. Replace the bad sensor and all of those problems should go away. As always it's best to start with scanning for codes to see which sensor is bad and whether or not any other codes are showing up.
