Hubs and idiot lights

risson · 01-09-2008, 04:00 PM

I recently replaced both of my front hubs. I found out it was only the right one that was bad (but both were replaced). I'm now having a problem with the Anti-Lock Brakes, Service Engine soon and Traction Control lights coming on (intermidently). I'm wondering would it possibly be one of the the two I replaced or do the back hubs (not sure here) have the same setup and could they cause these problems?

Any ideas would help..

And I did do a search on hubs and traction control..

Thanks,

Risson

Since you replaced both it could be a loose connection for the plug from the hub sensor or you pinched the wires when putting them in.

or your turn signal fluid is low....

did you remember to plug the ABS sensor wire back in after you installed the hubs? (not that i have or anything

)

change the air in your tires. when you replace the hubs you have to change the air so the abs adjust to the new hubs and with the old air in the tires it can throw the computer off.

yes the rears have built in speed sensors too...they don't fail nearly as often as the fronts but it is a possibility. But like mischief said, check your connections first. How did you determine that only the right one was bad, anyway? If you checked the ac output on them, then you know the procedure that you need to follow to check the rears. If not, we can let you know how to check them.
