Burock Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have the common winter problem of the CEL, Flashing Cruise, and ErSS in the odometer. I've reset the ECU multiple times, cleaned off the offending wheel sensor, read every post on this issue, and keep getting the problem. Turns out, code C0107 has been displaying, indicated RH ABS speed sensor readings are abnormal. I took out the speed sensor and ordered a new one. Question is- anyone know how to test the ohms on this sensor? Should I spray some brake cleaner into the hole where the sensor sits to clean out the hub? Where is the magnetic ring for the ABS that produced the signal for the sensor and how to clean it off?? I'm sure I'm not the only person here with this issue, and it didn't go away on its own (around 1000 miles since it started). thanks, jeff. I'm currently getting erratic Ohm readings between 30 and 130 ohms w/ the sensor off the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four_wheel_drifts Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I don't get the CEL or flashing cruise, but otherwise have the same problem. PDX Tuning diagnosted that it was a bad right front speed sensor. Then they promptly went out of business, or at least stop wrenching on cars. So today, I replace my right front speed sensor. It's a simple 10 minute job. Unfortunately, I take the car for a test drive and while the clicking is gone, when I hit 40 MPH, the ABS light is back on and "ERR SS" shows up again! WTF? Anyone know how to make this go away that does not involve a trip to the stealer? They wanted $90 bucks minimum to R&R this sensor. PDX Tuning was the same price, but they don't do this anymore.

Also got this code (I suck at searching this site, since I clearly didn't find this previously...used Google :S) Anyways, any follow-up to either of the above? I'm about to perform this operation (replacement) tonight!? Fingers crossed, everything goes well and the CEL goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sounds like it could be a damaged tone ring. I had that happen to me. There is a thread about my saga. I ended up replacing the damaged hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendozer Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Replaced the sensor, CEL's have yet to return. Sounds like problem has been solved. Not the easiest clip (inside the engine) to change, but got er done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 There might be a way to read the actual code in the dashboard, but I fail (05 legacy NA) I went to a local shop , they use the computer to read the abs module code.

(simple obd reader can't read the abs code) After I replaced my abs sensor, the erss code gone away right after I start the engine. There was some method of cycling the key on off, on off, etc. and the odometer will display the code apparently. I tried it for 30 minutes one day, 10 minutes another and just gave up. My ABS + ErrSS comes on only after heavy snow/very humid, moisture related it seems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help on his issue, thanks! Did the the code tell you which abs sensor was bad? I've heard some say a simple cleaning will solve the problem. Thank you!

Wolfden13 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Bought it on Amazon thanks I'll let you know how it works! Sent from my 5049W using TapatalkIts works great. I replaced the front sensor but the connector kept getting loose so the code would reappear, repaired that all codes cleared. Now a blinking sports light comes on. Most forums suggest changing the trans oil. I cant take the damn drain plug off. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Max Capacity Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 First off Thanks for your service. I do donate to your cause. I'm a USAF vet myself. Is this a 5mt or 5EAT car ? For the 5mt drain plug I have found that a short 1/2" drive extension on a good 1/2" breaker bar with a 24" piece of 1" water pipe worked well in removing that funky plug with the torx T70 was it ? You may need to hit the head of the breaker bar with a 3-5lbs hammer as your trying to break it free. That makes a home made impact tool. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

pdXammo Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Related inquiry. I just did a rear hub and the wheel speed sensors mount was broken and held in place by an additional washer. It seems like a loose fit, is there supposed to be some kind of seal or something on that? I feel like gunk could work down in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
