If anyone is wondering, this is the same way to change a speed sensor for the Jeep Liberty. As there are no videos on RUclips for that vehicle. Great job.
I have a 2006 Liberty. Does the speed sensor act as ABS as well? Do I have 1 sensor or 2? I have trouble in cold weather and I think this is the culprit.
This was great. I'm now and old lady so our car has to go to the garage (shop in US I think) but time was I'd have done it, though it ruins the nail varnish!!
Man can’t thank you enough. Just bought this Jeep 3 weeks ago ABS Traction control and 4x4 light came on came across your video went and bought both front and rear sensors solved my problem.
Nitrorc 77 love comments like these. Makes it all worth it. Glad I could help
Really appreciate your video thanks! I managed to swap out my front driver side sensor this afternoon. What a job!!! 😱 Like most other folks on here, the old sensor broke. I tried drilling a small hole, then screwing into it and pulling on it. The screw broke off leaving half of it inside the hole! Lol. Anyway, after lots of drilling, scraping, cursing, and taking a breather, the last remnants finally came out. Highly recommend having a can of compressed air to hand when doing this. The new sensor was a very tight fit and needed some ‘encouragement’ to fit into the hole, but it’s all installed and your video was so easy to follow it helped immensely! After yesterdays new plugs and coils and todays new abs sensor, happy to report (so far) no more random error codes flashing up at me! Happy camper 👍
Just did this same job on my 2007 Jeep Cherokee. I can't thank you enough for this video and the money you saved me! Great video!
You're welcome!! That means a lot. I love that I'm helping people. There will be a video more posted on this jeep soon.

I have a 98 jeep grand Cherokee and my ABS light is on as well, so when I drive it between 20mph and 60 it feels and sounds like it's running rough and like it's rubbing against something. Is the same thing happened to you?
Joe Vargas maybe check the caliper. I say this because you state the ABS is on and it felt like it was rubbing. If there was recent brake work done or other work done in this area then check and make sure eveything was repaired correctly. Good luck.
Thanks - I was wondering if it was the same with an '05 Grand Cherokee CRD. I'll find out.
Appreciate this vid, man! My ‘05 needs the same thing and I’ve been putting it off for a while. After seeing this, I’m a lot more confident doing it myself! Keep posting repair vids, I have a feeling I’ll be referencing them a lot with mine!
Lol I also gotta 05. I’ll never buy one again.
Good video. Surprised it does not have more views already. I used it to replace a rear ABS sensor on an '07. The sensor broke during removal like in this video but I was able to remove the rotor and then pop the broken senor forward through the hole without a problem instead of pulling it out. Diagnostically, prior to the sensor replacement my dash lights were ABS ESP BAS and traction control icons all illuminated. Starscan at dealership said " implausible speed between left front and right rear". The technician initially said that the computer might be going bad because it would be incredibly rare to have two sensors go at once; however, it seems that perhaps the computer needs to read the speeds of the opposite corners for vehicle stability control and this is why the scan mentioned both the front left and right rear. Anyway, the rear sensor (49 bucks) fixed it. It was a pretty cheap fix. Good instructions. Thanks again!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad my video helped. It's what this channel is about.
You just saved me a ton of money on a mechanic, thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video.....complete novice here, after a few trips to the hardware store and amazon to finally get the right tools I was able to replace this sensor and the light went out( not right away but after driving 500 feet or so it clicked off). Not going to lie I was pretty pumped to see a clear dashboard ha. If it wasn't for the sensor breaking off like yours did it would have been done in a half hour and even after buying some needed tools and the part it was all under 150 bucks. Thanks again sir.
I am glad to here you were able to do it yourself and that my video helped
@@jth1987leb Thank you, it seems as though these Jeeps have little ABS issues in their older age....I also had to replace the little plunger behind the brake pedal when I had a check engine and ABS light on within the last year.... RUclips saved the day on that repair as well lol.
Mine broke as well. I first reapplied spray penetrant and then I drilled a small hole in the part stuck in the hub and inserted a screw. I then used a pinch bar/nail puller and the stuck piece popped right out. Thank you for making the video.
Im having same exact problem in my 05 jeep grand cherokee, now that i found your video im gonna go ahead and do it myself...thank you for taking your time explaining how to do it!!!!!
Plz.till me when you finish.i have 05 jeep and same problem
Wow this video is great! I really like how it broke and he was able to show us what to do. I live in the rust belt and mine will definitely break the same way!
Great video and Great instructor......
This guy explain more and show more than most other guys .....
Supaman USA aww. Thank you.
VGAPR Garage your welcome bro I guess I'm going to do mind in a few day after watching your video couple time ...
And thank you for your video....
Post some more video when ever you replace parts because I own jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 1996 also.....
Another satisfied wacher!! I dont know how much money I saved! My antilock breaks were engaging when not needed it was bad. Now fixed, one of the front sensors.
Paul Mcclary it saves you 300-400 dollars depending on where you are in the country and labor rates. Glad I could help
Thanks so much for this very detailed video. I just got the abs light and ‘service 4x4 message’ on my 06 GC. Pretty sure it’s the same thing as I’ve recently had a new caliper fitted to the front right wheel. Probably knocked the sensor in the process.
Thanks for this video. i gotta change mine this morning. did not know about the rubber ring holding the rotor. glad u showed that. take care man. thanks
Great video clarity and explanation is excellent thanks very helpful
ANDRE' Tyler Thanks . If the ABS and Traction light comes on after the repair call your deal to check for a flash recall. Or there maybe wiring touching in the dash. That will be in a upcoming video
wheres that video, man? :D
When you jack the WK up, you should set it back onto the jack stand so that it supports the weight, then bring the hydraulic jack back up and allow it to hold some weight as well. If the jack failed the shock loading could cause the jack stand to fail too. And you should never turn the wheels when only one is off the ground. It could walk the vehicle off the jack.
Great reply / wouldn’t you insured the sensor hole was really clean and wouldn’t you have lubricated the sensor o-rings with silicone grease? Thanks
Excellent video well done!
Thx You. 7 years later :) Done it by looking at your video
Great video, replace ABS Sensor on my 2006, took me about an hour. Thanks.
Excellent video sir
Great video dude, helped a lot thanks.
Thanks. I'm glad I could help
Great video, used it to change out the front passenger wheel speed sensor today. I made the same mistake as you in breaking off the old sensor leaving the plastic bit stuck in the sensor hole. However, I drilled a small hole through the plastic piece that was stuck, placed a screw into this hole, and used the back end of a hammer to leverage it out. Took 2 minutes, much easier than using a Dremel or risking damage to the surrounding area. Just a suggestion.
No anti seize. Oil on the o ring? Just in there dry..hmm
You didn't make a mistake. They all break after they have been in there for a decade. Never seen one not break. I have done what you mentioned on broken Crank sensors on Mercedes. It is easier and much quicker.
I did the same thing. I drilled a hole in the middle and then three tiny expansion relief holes near the outside. I drilled in a high quality screw, latched on some Vice Grips with a small breaker bar and used the hub assembly as leverage. Voilà!! Popped right out. This video was what made me think outside the box.
Thank you 🙏
For this video !!!
Good job,man.
Really GREAT VIDEO...will no doubt save a some moo-lah when I replace
Glad I could help
Very nice and a clear explanation how to replace brake sensor. Thank you!
Great video sir!
thanks, I am glad you liked it
I just did this to my Jeep. I had the code when done. Had to do it all over again. Its a good idea to check the new sensor for resistance with an ohm meter as they can be bad even when new. Also...your wheel lug threads should have been cleaned and lubed. You can not torque the nuts correctly with so much corrosion on the threads. Some lube on the new sensor O-rings is highly recommended as well. Wait, im not done. Lol. You should check the old sensor with a meter before removing. it is not always the sensor that is throwing the code. It could be a bad connection or wire. I unplug and do a ohm test first thing. I would clean those threads on all four wheels lugs and properly torque the lug to factory recommendations. The lug nuts should spin on most of the way easily by hand. Also the clearance between the keys and sensor end is pretty important. The surface the sensor bolts down on should be sanded till all debri and corrosion is removed. Stuff a piece of paper towel in hole first so as not to get dust in hole. Ok. Im done. Lol.
great video,
did the same an do we need to put grease on the inside of the sensor or what would happend , thanks in advance
i have a 2008 grand Cherokee diesel. when iam driving if feels like the jeep is stalling kinda and and then the service 4wheel light comes on. when i turn my ESP off i have no problem and seems to drive good. the technician told me it could be a bad wheel/ABS sensor. do you agree?
cheers
Excellent job, thanks a lot
Hey Coach. 7yrs ago you posted this great video, and it's just as relevent today as it was then. I wanted to offer some advice. When removing lugnuts, they're pretty tight and it's best to use your body weight to loosen them. Use a heavy foot to loosen or tighten. If you use your arms, which are weaker than your legs, then your back, your spinal column, has to support your arms, under heavy conditions like this, and may due permanent damage to your back muscles. So, for that job, I would use my legs to help loosen those overtightened lugnuts. That's my two cents. But sure learned something from your post, so "thanks" all in all
Thank you for the video!!! it will help me a lot! just one question, does it stop the message of the 4x4 and break electrical system?
Gerardo Alonso depends on if the abs speed sensor is the issue. Normally if the sensor is bad it will say abs, traction and 4x4 system on the dash. You might want to go to your jeep dealer because there is a re flash for the 4x4 system depending on your model year.
@@jth1987leb what you mean reflash I just got this shit and my back is sticking brakes dragging...
Thank u so much u are a life saver
Brandon Smith welcomes. Glad I could help
good job
happened to me today, i just drilled into it with a screw and used plyers and pulled it out, bugger is in there good
great, thanks!
Hey, great video. Im wondering how you know the ABS sensor is bad? I have the service brake system light coming up on my dash, I assume it is a sensor but just in case anything else is a telltale sign? My Jeep is also grinding a bit on full steering lock, Im wondering if this is related. Thanks.
invade81 so in the case of this Jeep even though the dash was saying front right abs speed sensor it was really a rear wheel bearing. On this Jeep on rear wheel bearing was bad and the other had a bad seal getting diff fluid on the abs speed sensor. I replaced both and cleaned the sensor and the dash lights went off.
Same issue,just when I do the dtc report,it just says "dtc report done". Might just replace both sensors,brand new hubs so it has to be the one that plugs into the harness then to the hub.
Did you check the front hub to see if it was wore out?
This video seems very helpful. I currently have " Service Elec Brake system " showing on my message board . Was that something that would pop up for you ? My wheel also seems to grind when making slow/sharp turns at slow speeds.
+oarriaza1 this Jeep had the same message popping up. It had a recall and the computer had to be flashed. Call a jeep dealer with your VIN to find out if you have that recall. After the computer was flashed this Jeep still had the message popping up. Turns out the issue is a wire that has worn through. I will be posting a video on that soon
I wanted to ask since I'm also experiencing the grinding typically when pulling into and out of parking spots....would that all be related to this sensor though (yes I have all the same codes come on at once 4x4, service electrical break). I changed my breaks about 8-10 months ago and this only started happening now. What i've noticed is it will kick out of cruise on the highway as though its trying to slow down or slip out of gear...breaks seem to work fine though?
Man that took forever. @12:00 what i was looking for ...
Good video. Thanks for posting! I would use a torque wrench on the caliper though.
Thanks a lot from Russian jeep owner 😁😉
I had the u1418 code so I took my right front sensor of to clean it had a lot of greese on it now the lights are of now the check light comes on when I turn the key on but goes away when I start the car so I scanned the car and it says there are no error codes
Front driver side abs sensor was bad. Previous owner replaced it and the rim rubbed a hole through the wire. Repair done. Abs esp and traction control light still on. Dtc says done. How do I clear the code?
Today I went to a car mechanic and the vehicle hub was replaced for a 2005 Jeep Liberty, but the ABS mark appeared and did not turn off. Please advise or what to do
So glad I live in Nevada. Look at all that rust!!!
Ron Sabbie honestly it’s all surface rust. Really not that bad.
I have the exact issue right now with my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The Service Electrical System and Service 4WD System is flashing on dash along with the ABS and Traction Control lights being on. What happens if it doesn't display a code? I tried 3x! Gives me lines and then says done. Please help!
Joshua, great video man! I think I will do this myself, as I have the ABS ESP BAS + traction control lights on and everything is pointing in this direction... do you know if the left and right sensors are the same part #?
Thank you very much for this video!
I think they are different part numbers. With all those lights on it might be a wiring issue. That's still the problem with this jeep after this repair and a recall that flashed the computer. The reason I know it's a wiring is the ABS is working and the jeep can go into tow and low4. After doing more research I found it is a common issue. It's a wire in the dash. I've been meaning to do a video on the repair. Hopefully soon.
Looks like I'll try cleaning all the wiring contacts before changing anything. Thanks for your reply. Great video. :-)
+ThePandaBeat check the wires for cuts. To my understanding it's pink. I hope that helps.
VGAPR Garage have you figured what wire it is in the dash? I’m having the same issue. Thanks.
I'm having all these issues with my 2007 5.7 and it's not giving me any DTC codes. It just states DTC Report Done. No code yet all the same lights are on and turn on after 2nd gear. I'm fucking over this.
do a good power wash with solvents and undercoat a lot of steal, looks like a lot of moisture and salt in the winter there
I have a 2005 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 4X2 have the abs light on and it shows( electrical braking system) and when I go slow under 10mph the the brake make noise and don't work good. also how did you get it to show the code
+Margarito Ramirez chances are you have a wiring issue in the dash board like this jeep does. when it comes to your brake noise have you had your brakes changes recently or not for awhile. To get the code have the key in the off position then turn it to the on position three times.
would a bad speed sensor also cause the odometer to no functoin properly, ie i drive 14 miles per google maps but the odometer reads 3.8. its also on a 2005 grand cherokee. Also, is there a way to tell which sensor needs to be replaced with the u1418 code? I really dont want to replace the front right if all i need is the back right sensor.
Having kinda the same promble
did you find anything to fix it
I have all the same warning lights... ABS, T/C, Service electric brake system, Service 4WD system.. its a 2005 AWD .. Had it scanned at Advanced Autoparts. The code is C101F they said Right front Speed Sensor. Any thoughts???? Thanks for your help..
I had all these lights in my 06 and found out if you have more than 1 abs sensor bad it will put your jeep in limp mode, I had 2 front bad ones and it was giving me p0700 and p0501 plus the codes for the two front sensors.
My 2007 jeep Cherokee 5.7 hemi turns off sometimes after I turn it on could this be the problem... sometimes I have no problem at all it turns on and run great. Most time tho I turn it on and it turns on them turns off. Can someone help me
My back driver side seems to be he one sticking but I need new brakes too.my hubs are completely rusted it's a vehicle from Mass and brought to FL
Would this work for the 2005 jeep grand Cherokee aswell sir?? Mines not a 4x4 .
Freddy Hernandez all four wheels have abs speed sensors so it might
Great video, but How did you clear the codes afterwards?
Just driving it will clear the code
Hey Joshua, nice video. I had a question i'm hoping you or someone else might be able to help with. I heard that both of the wheel speed AbS sensors need to be replaced at same time in order to "sync up". Is that true? Any comments on that would be welcomed. Also, if it is true do they synchronize themselves? If not, do you know how?
I don't think that's true. I did all four on the jeep. Everything was fine. Today I had to replace the front driver side bearing which came with a abs speed sensor(video coming soon) and there was no issue. I'm not sure who told you that but they are wrong, because if that was true they'd sell all four abs speed sensors together
True. From everything I've been reading people say its the front right (passenger side) sensor. But in theory...it could be any of them right? So, anything to look for, or signs of faultyness other than a broken wire before I randomly replace it?
+Ed B now I understand. Your referring to the trouble code that comes up on the dash. I wasn't sure and I couldn't find any info on it. Buying all four sensors was cheaper than going to the dealing and paying the diagnostic fee to find out which one it was.
Hey Joshua good point all of them together might be $80-100 plus your time to install which seems relatively easy based on your video. Actually there isnt a DTC code for me. It just says done. I took it for a drive now and the error codes/lights didnt even come on. Its funny because I didnt drive it for a week and everytime that happens some kind of code or problem occurs :). I'm going to see what happens in the next few days....but if starts happening intermittently I'll just buy all 4 and replace...although I heard you can get it scanned to find out which one it is? I heard autozone does it for free? I'll have to call and ask.
+Ed B rockauto.com. Way cheaper.
Great job...now it's my turn. I'm going to soak it.
This is a great video, a step by step video, was excellent. Thank you
My ocd was going crazy
Would this put the car into limp mode? Having a faulty abs sensor?
nathan megalegend no
what machine can we use to find the sensor which wells is the sensor bad mop
I more advanced obd2 reader that will give you live data of each wheel has you drive. Have a BlueDriver that has a app you can put on your phone. I think it has abs live data. Plus the BlueDriver is nice to have.
You might like to smear a little Never-Seez anti-seize compound on the threads of the Allen bolt before reinstalling. Just incase you need to do this job again in the future. Anything that will need to be replaced more than once on a vehicle should be reassembled with Never-Seez.
You are OK
Screw abs I removed mine completely and closed the circuit so I didn't get any codes
Voids your insurance
Do you just turn the key on/off 3 times in a row to get it to run the code? Do you have to hold the brake or parking brake on or anything else?
just to the on position yes. no need to do anything else.
Joshua Harden Thanks. I been trying to help an out of state family member figure out which ABS sensor is bad through this test but she can't get it to work on her 07 Jeep grand cherokee. She says she's doing that but can't get the codes to come up. I told her to take it to autozone tomorrow and see if they will run their obd2 test and see if it will show. Hopefully anyways.
+TheAmericanUhate that will give a code. Another way to find out which abs speed sensor is bad is to floor it then slam on the brakes. The wheel with the bad abs speed sensor should leave a skid mark. When you pull the code on these jeeps it tells which side left or right, not which wheel. I was tried of trying to find out so I just through four new abs speed sensors at it.
Joshua Harden I'm not sure what she's doing wrong, I'm trying my best to not have to drive 11 hours away to find out lol. That's a good idea about brake checking it to see which one slides, I would have never thought of that. She lives on a dirt rode so it won't be too hard to find out I don't think. I don't blame you on doing all 4, if one is bad then the others are probably pretty close to the end of their life span as well. She said the dealership wants $125 and I told her the sensor only cost $15 to $25 so hopefully this will work. Thanks again too!
+TheAmericanUhate rockauto.com has the best prices.
I hope that the driving side front abs sensor is what i need to replace on my 2006 liberty cause every time i stomp on break the abs activate and after a few time breaking the abs light and esp go on dash and it actually stop activating the abs...once turning off/on the engine it reset it and it does it all over again.. I'm gonna change it tomorrow and hopefully that will be it, even cause i have only a normal drill and I'm not sure it will fit in that small room..thanks anyway !!
Take a look at your rear and sensors and tone rings as well.
@@jth1987leb changed the front sensor and the issue is still there.. so i disconnected the sensor now all lights came up on the dash but the issue with abs coming up every time i break is gone 🤷♂️
Where did you get your sensors from
I can’t remember
I'm getting me an impact wrench today, I got frustrated tired and wore out just watching him do everything with a socket and breaker bar. Good job, but would have been so much easier with an impact wrench.
Gary Powell I use the Milwaukee M12 line of cordless tool. Very capable and compact.
Abs and traction control same line ?
Scott bishop this is an abs speed sensor. If one is bad the traction and cruise control will not work
This video saved me a good bit of money. Is there a PayPal address for Joshua Harden to make a donation? :-)
Manny Vel I do have a paypal account. Jth1987leb@aol.com. I'm glad you liked the video and it helped. That why I have the channel.
Joshua Harden Done 😊
Manny Vel thank you so much. It'll going into my car lift fund
I used a picture from your video to illustrate the problem I’m having if you don’t mind. I can add a thank you credit for you if you like?
The rubber ring in front of the rotor is to keep dirt out not the rotor on.
Great Vid. All went to plan until the sensor removal and Snap... Instead of going right to the Dremel I drilled a very Tiny hole in the broken sensor then hand screwed a self-drilling multi-purpose screw into it about 1/4 in. then seated a screwdriver on the screw and taped Once lightly and it moved down slightly. Then used a pair of vice grips to Pull directly on the screw and the sensor popped right out. ~ whew ~
I can't get the light off after I replaced the sensors, my abs and other light are still on
Lol I have this same exact Jeep, color and everything!
Is this the limited model?
There’s no difference in the abs system among trims
How did you get the code ?? Not sure how
Brandon Vogel turn the key to just the on position(don’t start the engine) three times in a row.
Had 3 bad sensors. ABS BAS/ESP and another warning light, forgot which one. A bad sensor kills the cruise control. Traction control button didn't work. And it screw with my transmission. Sometimes it wouldn't shift until after 4 or 5k RPMs. Now that I relpaced the sensors everything works perfectly. : ) Make sure you meter the new sensors at the Auto parts store. The sho ohm between 600 and 1300 ohms. I had to do one twice before I learned this. When I went to buy the rears, both metered too low. Had to go to 3 stores before I found one within the specs.
I changed my sensor but the light on the dash won't come off
The rubber ring is there to hold the rotor on at the factory assembly line and serves no other purpose , you dont need to put it back on or try to get a replacement. you put 1 lug nut on to hold the rotor while you put the caliper back on.
Excellent video. Hope it helps me fix mine that just started acting up.
Oh, I wonder if, in addition to the lube spray, if a screwdriver on EACH side of the sensor would lift it out of that hole without breakage? I'll have to try that :-)
Oh, I couldn't get the the 'code' either with the 3 on/off procedure.
* ABS light happen to be off at that time (maybe this cancelled the code readout?).
* Jeep in "Park", foot off the brake
* I performed an On/off, On/off, On/off/on. (Tried on=on and on=start position but released before starting)
Update: 10/30/2016
I was able to get the DTC 'code' from the dash window. It seems that the above
procedure does not work UNLESS the ABS alert lamp is actively glowing (on).
Also, I was able to get the sensor out without breaking it. I performed the procedure
shown in the video but used 2 screwdrivers, one on the top (near screw hole) and one on the bottom of the sensor. I started by tapping each screwdriver top/bottom, back and forth until both screw drivers were able to be wedged under both ends of the sensor. Then I gently wriggled the sensor out by rocking both screwdrivers under the sensor edges.
Update: 11/06/2016
Replacing the front sensor didn't resolve the problem so onwards to the rear sensor. The rear sensor is designed different from the front sensor but the removal procedure is similar. Getting the sensor removed from the mounting hole was a LOT more of a hassle because of the tight fit. What finally helped remove it completely was repeated firm taps on the internal end of the sensor, located inside the hub, with a medium length of wood and a hammer. Due to the tightness I also had to use firm taps with the hammer when installing the new sensor, striking as close to the center of the sensor BUT NOT on the wire that leads into it. After disconnecting the battery (to reset the code?) the ABS error light, the erratic brake grabbing AND the erratic Navigation Display Icon, which tracks vehicle movement, was now back to normal :-)
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Limited - 5.7
Part used = Autozone Duralast Premium ABS sensor (EXACT match) :-D
way to go with the rust prevention!
This problem keeps happening to me (ABS light. Traction control. Service electric brakes and 4wd system) but, only when I go about 75+ MPH and if I stop, turn the vehicle off, turn it back on then drive for a second they go away. Good this also be my problem? 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7L. Thank you
Drew, I'm having the same problem with my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7L. No DTC codes are recorded with the key view. Did you find your problem???
i get no codes on key view but took the advanced autoparts and got a C101F code when they scanned. They said right front Wheels speed sensor.
Update 5/5/2017-I purchased a BlueDriver OBD2 reader and it displayed 2 stored faults, C100A (left front wheel sensor circuit), and C1011 (left front wheel speed sensor signal erratic performance). there was no DTC display fault. Replacing the left front sensor cured the intermittent ABS light, Traction control, Service electric brakes and 4wd system display errors. No problem since. I had to drill out part of the old sensor as it broke trying to remove it. Thanks for the video VGAPR Garage!!
I have a 2006 5.7 hemi jeep Cherokee and sometimes I turn it on and it turns on but then it turns off... sometimes it turns on with no problems can u guys help sometimes my abs bas lights turns on too
first of all if you pull a wheel off to do any service you should coat the wheel lugs or studs with anti seize so they don't get rusted. As to the ABS line it does not connect in all those places they're simply retainers to hold the line in place - - the connection is where you separate the wire from its connector with that little red plastic piece. When you fit anything with O-rings puts a little bit of brake fluid or PB Blaster on the rubber as it lubes them to slide in easier - - both those fluids not only lube but soften the rubber - - do not use too much because anything that gets in the way or blocks the sensor will result in a false reading of the rotor not turning and give you pedal feedback. When you put the caliper bolts back in use anti seize - - when you put bolts into aluminum use anti seize because if they oxidize they will snap - - I put it on bleeder screws because there's nothing worse than doing a simple brake job and then snapping off a bleeder screw. I've been doing mechanical work for years and I may use a jack to lift the car but I always put a jack stand under the frame somewhere as a backup - - its one thing if you are just taking a tire off and on but the minute you try breaking other bolts loose you should something besides just the jack
gary doyle you DO NOT put anti seize on wheel stud, caliper bolts or caliper bracket bolts. Anti seize on these fasteners will make it harder to get the correct torque which can cause them to back out. Caliper bolts and caliper bracket bolts come from the factory with loctite on the threads and it’s recommended the old loctite be removed and new applied. Some manufacturers, like ford use toque to yield caliper bracket bolts that are one time use and need to have loctite on the threads. Anti seize should not be used on these bolts or nuts.
Can this cause your vehicle not to shift out also?
Levail junior I’m not sure
Yes, when mine went out in my 05 the speedo goes out and will not shift at all until you pull over and restart
How you get that code ?
Cycle the key to just the position three times
wriggle sensor with open end spanner 15mm usualy
You didn't test to see if the sensor works? What if it doesn't? What next? I wish people would do the what if's in their videos.... What if using the dremel, damage is done down in that hole? What was the white yellowish stuff in the hole before you put the new sensor in? I would have been digging that out not knowing if it should stay?
+judith wise The “white yellowish” is the grease from the wheel bearing. completely normal, nothing to worry about. This was is my parent’s Jeep and they had the code U1418, which is at the beginning of the video, So I just decided to change all the abs speed sensors for them. The diameter of the hole would not cause any issues if it was scratched because the kind of sensor this Jeep uses is magnetic. The hole just has to be inclosed, which it is, by the bearing and the top of sensor which a rubber O ring. The sensor is also mounted to the hub with a 10mm bolt. Great questions
+Joshua Harden One more question. You don't show changing the brakes disc and pads, but I'm sure you know about this as well. I have a 2005 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4, 4.7 ltr V-8 trail rated. I was told I needed new brakes (All 4 corners and complete brake job) before my inspection is due in April. Garages in my area are charging 750 for front and 800 for rear. I can't justify giving them 1500 when the equipment runs for $380 at most and $270 on sale. I know I can do this, I'm very handy for a women. Love to do it yourself jobs. I research and do my homework. However this is something that could effect my life and someone else's. How difficult is it to do this? My husband is NOT a handyman and would rather pay others to do everything. He does not want me to take this on. Which makes me want to do my own brakes just to prove I can! My daughter has done her own brakes on her Pontiac G6 however that is not a 4 Wheel drive vehicle.
On another note, If I decide to do this, should I change my ABS sensors as well while I have the brakes completely off? My car has 144,000 + miles on it and has never been changed. What say you?
it is extremely easy to do. I did all for wheel on my parents jeep for less the 300 in parts. the one thing you have to remember, IF your Grand Cherokee has it, because my parents does, is there should be a rubber ring holding the rotor on. it is located on the hub and sits in a grove. all you need is a small pike to get it out. removing the rubber ring “should” allow the rotor to come free. Just remember to put the rubber ring back. Having it there holds the rotor in place and makes assembly easier.The only reason you should ever do you ABS speed sensor is if there is a warning light on the dash saying it needs to be done. BUT, my parent have the same jeep as yours and their dash is messed up due to a wire that has become exposed. I will be doing a video on that. Go to rockauto.com and order the rotors and pads. Way cheaper. Just do not order the cheapest rotors and pads. they will not last long and will not provide you with the stopping power that SUV needs. Remember to take you time, and support the SUV on jack stands. do not reply on the jack to hold the weight on the SUV. Take a look at my other videos. Most brakes are all the same and I am sure I have some videos on replacing rotors and pads
Thank you so much. I already priced Auto Zone Dura Max rotors and Dura Gold pads on sale $270, normally $384.
+judith wise Hey judith, did you do your brakes? how'd it go?
👍
An easy way to get the broken sensor out is drill a small hole in it, screw a screw into the hole, then pull the screw out and the old sensor comes out with it in one piece.
Tip: always maker the center of the rotor, between the studs, hitting the outside could damage the rotor
It was more like a tap.
my jaw dropped when i seen that caliber hanging by the break line
I have this issue as well just bought the Jeep last week. one week of owning it and this happens to me. I got 3 4 codes. U0121 x 3 and U1120 x1. 3 of the same codes came up. then that other one. my jeep won't shift out of first. goes into reverse fine and into drive. but won't shift. randomly the Jeep won't start. like the battery is dead. I had battery and alternator tested. the both checked out good. The Abs, stability, check engine, brake, service electric brake system comes on. was running tip top on the interstate just fine. 2 hour drive to my dads. 2 hour drive back. made it almost all the way back about 5 minutes left on the drive doing about 80 the whole time suddenly the lights come on. I put it to the floor and it didn't down shift. it stayed in overdrive. I made it home luckly. haven't had much time to do any tests to see if certain wheels lock up. but I may be able to tonight. I will update on that. BTW 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo AWD 3.7l V6 Auto
so I took it on a test drive. shifted fine for the first 2 minutes. lights were all still on though. The driverside tires slid on gravel when I hit the brakes hard. the passenger front slid. the passenger rear did not. I think it's very unlikely that 3 sensors go out at the same time. there's just no way it's a sensor
and what was it?
it was the passenger front ABS sensor.
Thanks! i will change
My symptoms were abs light, traction light, brake light and check engine light were on. Transmission went into limp mode. Speedo wouldn't work. Threw a few codes. Took it to the dealership to waste 100$ for nothing. I used a multimeter and tested the resistance on all of the abs sensors. That's how I found the bad one.
I had high hopes for this. Right off the bat you call wrong sizes. Lug nuts are 3/4" or 19mm unless you have aftermarket leg nuts. And do not hit the sensor with a screwdriver. That is why they broke off. Use channel locker and pull.
Jacob Rohr I did all four abs sensors and they all broke. And would you not agree that I was able to show what you can do if you abs sensor is broke? My garage is in upstate NY and things rust up here. And yes, the lug nuts are aftermarket.
A little bit irritating with the compressor noise in the background when the compressor is barely used in the video. You can turn it off when not in use.
