ABS Cable Question
So the PO told me he started to wire in replacement ABS sensors so now I have a coiled up set of cables on the both passenger side and driver side in the engine compartment. Incidentally all four related braking system lights are on (BRAKE, TCS, HDC, ABS) in the instrument pack.
- What to I do with these cables?
- Are they the ABS speed sensor cables?
- Do I route them through the firewall and terminate to positions in the C0505 connector in the SLABS ECU unit?
- Are the wires color coded?
- Do I solder them in?
From what I read, the correct replacement of the wheel speed sensors/ABS cables is to hard wire them from the hub, through the wheel arch, firewall and directly into the ECU. Though, I opted to replace mine with some aftermarket, plug in ones like the originals and they worked just fine.
Taking apart the hub requires a little elbow grease so YouTube that too. The only other thing I had to re-correct was using my air compressor to clean out the splines in the hub from some grease and such that made its way in. That dirt and grease cause a malfunction of the reading and set the dash lights off and made the ABS activate on dry roads. Good luck on it.
