Wish it was that easy. I replaced them and the lights are still on. Cleared ECU. Same issue
@SpyCrew1212 I'm at a loss , not sure what it might be, if you solve it please let me know, I'm always up for learning something new.
worked for me perfect. thanks. great videos.
@casimirotucuca4468 awesome, glad the video helped.😎
What does that green signal mean?
@prestondavis6787 not sure what green signal you are asking about.
Have a same issue with my 2006 EOS tdi, code is right rear ABS sensor. I replaced it but the yellow lights are still on. When start the car the morning it is off, then reaching a speed of 20-30 km/h, it switches on again. What can be the issue?
@glaszlo9694 I'm not sure, I would think it's not reading at that speed. If you figure it out let me know, I always like learning new things.
The same problem with my 2016 VW Passat that happened July 18. The dealer will charge both arms and legs. Can a local mechanic fix this for cheaper or should I take it to the VW dealer. I barely drive my car and has under 50,000 miles. This car was new when I purchased Aug 2016.
@chipssunshine8273 any dealer will charge an arm & leg, it's not hard to do if you feel you can do it.
almost $500 to change at the dealer
Nice video to bad i don't understand Spanish. No English subtitles?
Add same problem change every thing still on so the Jetta was sold off
Yea, I sold mine as soon as I got everything right, I made a video of it because I sold it to Carvana , check it out, I made out really well. Those Volkswagen's are expensive to repair. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Having this same issue with my 2013 Tiguan changed the rear sensors lights still on … can the front cause this too? Gonna change them tomorrow
I'm sure if any are bad it could cause it, let me know how you make out.
@@wantabgearhead8227 changed the front still have the lights code 01200
I don't remember the code I had , it's been a few years but it doesn't look familiar, I'll look back when I get home today.
I don't know, when you don't live there it's kinda of hard to objective, same is true here in the USA, if you don't live here you hear what the media wants you to know, but best wishes to you. Thanks for I r watching and commenting.
It doesn't have to be like this. Cubans have brought the situation upon themselves.
My light come on and the they go off ? Should I still check them.?
If they haven't come back on I wouldn't worry about.
This is work on Passat b6 1.9tdi confortline 2007 with tire pressure light on ?
I'm not sure, but I would think so. Let me know what you figure out. Thanks for commenting.
@@wantabgearhead8227 I asking this because my passat b6 dosent have electronic valve i'm pretty sure this is the same mechanism from this time on VWs like 2005 2010 +, and i have a friend have same issue on VW POLO 1.6TDI 6R 2010 but we changed the ABS sensor but the ABS light is still on and blinking because the cable has been damaged by the previous owner..... when we replaced it, the problem not solved... i scared from risk to have the same issue on my passat if i touch the ABS sensor... idw the light turn ON. For more indication about tire pressure light, on my passat and on my friend polo the button SET for tire pressure dosent work, but when we check the contact and button with a multimetter he work! So whats the problem ? sensor ?
@Tozovbb91GamingMinecraft I wish I had some idea but I just don't, sorry but let me know if you figure it out I love learning new thing.
Hi I hope you can answer me, I already change all the 4 sensors but the indicators still on. Is it need to drive the car to reset and the indicator will off ? Thankyouu
I only drove a few thousand feet and it reset, not sure why your's hasn't. Let me know if you figure it out, I like to learn new things. Thanks for the question, sorry I don't have an answer for you.
After replacing the sensors, do you have to go for a little drive before they reset? Or did they reset once you turned the car on?
I drove about 3000 feet and it reset.
My traction light comes on and the tire light comes on and my car pulls to the left what could that be
That I don't know and I wouldn't want to guess. Let me know if you figure it out. Thanks for commenting.
Some things to check; low tire pressure, hub bearing (jack up and test), inner or outer tie rod joint, mismatched tire or wheel, air in brake fluid of one corner or another, or merely a misalignment.
Thank you for the clear explanation, about to give it a try on my car
Mine started happening recently the abs / traction / airbag and the tire light starts flashing it sometimes goes away and sometimes it stays on it could be my wheel speed sensor’s hopefully
For me my battery died, caa came n sold me a new battery. But I still had to go to the dealership n make them reset the system to remove the icons
@@als.gti-iG ohh I put a new sensor lights still poped up I erased the codes with my Cobb and still popped up idk what else could be the problem people say it’s best to get oem sensors then aftermarket ones.
@@Alexis-mk6where you able to solve this ??? I have the exact same issue to the T right now. Dealership takes forever to give diagnostics and don’t wanna buy sensors if it’s not the problem
@@christopherpena1028 at the moment bro no i still have the problem but it could be the a bunch of stuff the most common wheel speed sensor but mine was not the case could be the wheel bearing as well that goes in the sensor or the wire it self what car do u drive ?
@@Alexis-mk6 2012 vw jetta 2.0L. Just bought the sensors off amazon since they’re cheap. If they don’t fix it, then I’ll return em and might have to look at other options
Can you post a link for the part please?
Sorry for the late response but I will when I get home from work, thanks for watching.
Eur102 at the dealers...got a quote yesterday...
What did they say?
@@wantabgearhead8227 Eur130 (extra) to hook up diagnostics during a normal service and Eur102 to replace the sensor. So in essence that means about Eu200 for the one fix...I don't mind to pay for something but that is really too much...Ordering the part and will do it myself...Same thing happened with one of my Xenon headlights...
My 2017 Jetta keeps having this issue with ABS, steering wheel column, and airbag lights all on then 5 minutes later they disappear. I’ll get it checked out and see if it comes up the same error code. Thank you!
Let me know , I'm curious.
I’m curious to know the response as well. This morning on the way to work my abs, airbag, and tire pressure light all came on for about 2 minutes then went off. I could also hear my door locks click. I have a 2015 tdi sportswagon. Thanks!!
@@user-on6zc7id1j the door locks is something new to me, I have no idea.
@@wantabgearhead8227 Yeah the door lock thing was weird, but it only happend that one time. I have noticed issues with my door locks (i.e. getting in the car and not being able to lock it right away). The lights all came back on yesterday after work and I took it to the local mechanic. Turns out I have the exact issue you had in your video! Easy fix, thanks for the help!
@user-on6zc7id1j I'm glad it helped, CZcams is my best friend I learn so much from other people willing to share their knowledge. Thanks again for your support.
Is this scanner ready to go right out the box or do i have to buy the one year subscription as well?
No contract, but keep in mind I bought mine about 5 years ago, not sure if it's still available, you know how they rotate their stock.
this is happening for me besides the air bag light and I’m not sure what to do because I’m not a mechanic. worried it is going to be expensive.
You can go to a Autozone and they will scan it for free and let you know what is triggering the lights.
Hi im in durban Pinetown,do you thing any Autozone branch can scan it for,my jetta 6 display these lights
As far as I know most auto stores will scan it for free.
Awesome video! How are they both holding up now?
So far really good but did make the mistake of using a pressure washer on the Expedition and it did peel a small area of the clear coat off.
Thank you
I hope you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to comment.
I went through the car wash and then these same lights came on immediately on my 2017 Passat
Wow, I wouldn't think it was connected but with these newer cars you never know. I would go to Autozone and have them scan it but have them remove the codes and see if they come back. You never know it could have just been a fluke.
Sunroof leak.
Would this cause a loss of power/ acceleration? I’ve got all the same lights. My car drives fine but last night I lost power like limp mode but I have a standard. Mk6 2.5L
I personally didn't loose any power but I did replace them rather quickly.
I have a 2011 golf 2.5 Anna having the same issues, ABS AIRBAG TPMS and now my brake light is flashing with full brake fluid and the brakes aren’t bad
First happened when I hit a median with my left front tire, went away, came back some months later and went away once I got an oil change, month or two later it’s there as of now
@@delsanders2 as I've suggested to others go to autozone and they usually will scan your car for free and probably point you to right direction as to what the problem might be. Let me know, I love learning as much as I can.
@delsanders2 u still have the car??
Where may I get the scan tool?
I bought mine a few years ago at Harbour Freight. It was around $70.
Thank you I will try this! This just happened to me recently. I will try this.
Did it work?
Did anybody’s go into limp mode. I can’t go over 35 mph ?
No, mine didn't. Not sure might cause that. Let me know if you figure it out, I'm curious.
Oof I hope you figure that out. Limp mode on any car sucks
I can’t go over 30 🙃 2016 vw jetta Tsi
I think it looks great.
Thanks it's been more than 2 years and it still looks good except I used a pressure washer and a small section did come off.
I have all the same lights on but absolutely no codes... Any advice? Should I just try to replace 4 of these sensors
I'm not sure, mine showed codes. Maybe go by autozone and have them scan it they'll do it for free.
Its usually an abs speed sensor I just went to the shop one sensor will active airbag lights abs and traction and tire pressure will blink dont let nobody scam u if lights come on all at the same time.
Got it, thanks.
Ahhh so the senors cause the airbag to because I’m having the same issue all the lights pop up on the dash and my right front abs wheel speed senor is bad
2010 jetta tdi. Mine all came on at once because of a severe sunroof leak passenger side which soaked all the wiring on that side. Tore all the cabin covering off, it's all dry but cant reset codes. Fuses check out.
Looks good. Spray your headlights, they will look new again
I should try that, they need it.
Would this work on golf 2011 tdi
I would think so but got to Autozone and ask them scan your car, they do it for free and see if it gives you some direction as to what is causing it. Let me know, I love learning new things.
Got the same problem on my 2018 jetta. I changed the rear left sensor drove a bit and the lights came back on again. Any suggestions will be highly welcomed.
I would put a code scanner on it, if you don't have one Autozone will scan it for free. It might give you some direction as to where the problem is, that's how I figured mine out. Let me know I'm curious.
I don’t know how many car videos you make. But you need to make ALL OF THEM. Finally someone actually explains clearly. I guarantee this is the issue with my 2017 Volkswagen Passat and I’ll come back and update you once I’ve changed them out. Just the fact that you explained and showed your work clearly won me over. Liked, subscribed all that.
Thanks for commenting and yes let me know how it turns out. I don't make a lot but I try to be as simple and clear as possible. I probably make more to keep the channel going , thanks again for taking the time to share.
I'm hoping this is the issue with my 2012 passat. I will let you know. Thanks for a great video.
six months later... was that the issue?
Hello, i just cleaned my throttle body and MAP sensor and now i’m getting an ABS light? Any reason why?
Nevermind, my grandpa told me it’s common for it to turn on after something like that. Just drove it and now it’s gone 😅
Awesome , glad to here it's not an issue.
How can I find the speed sensor part number to my car? I have the same issue
You can call the dealer with the Vin number and they can tell you, you can go to a auto store and they should able to do the same.
You never paint spray outside ...especially when it's windy...very stupid !
Stupid or not, when you don't have a garage and it's close to winter, you do what you have to. It turned out great as far as I'm concerned. Have a great day.
GT- never open your mouth, might put a foot in it!
Why was the 2k chose over the 1k? Is there a major difference?
I don't know ,I just thought 2 would be better. I never tried type 1.
2k has the hardener vs 1k that doesnt
@Broken Rock Adventures I learn something everyday.
I won if that’s a replacement fender? Get another can!
Not a replacement fender , the can covered but not 100% . Most people wouldn't see where I can see primer so it covered pretty well. Also small can.
Could you share the link off Amazon of the part you used, please?
I`m having the same issue with my 2012 passat ...replace all 4 but nothing
My scanner told me what it was, so no guesswork. Harbour Freight ZR11 $109.99.
@paxman76100 did u fix your problem?
any update? have to check the sensor Harness as well-always use a scan tool first
What is the scan tool that you used? Do you have a link?
No link, Harbour Freight ZR11 with abs , $ 109.99.
I’m literally having the same issue!! Thank you so much. I’m gonna see if this is the issue and get back to you
I hope it works out , it's really pretty simple. Thank you for commenting . 😎
@@wantabgearhead8227 everything is good. I left my car running too long and pretty much just needed a jump start lol 😂 🤦🏾♀️
Do they take ur car on a test drive
No, she just looked at the Vin number and made sure the mileage was within 1000 miles of when they made the offer. The offer is only good for 7 days. They paid me 6600.oo more than anyone else .
Very helpful and clear. I liked that you also explained how to get the clip off easily. I broke the first clip I tried removing, and this made the second much easier.
I'm glad to hear the video helped someone, and thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Looks decent. How has it held up?
It's been almost 2 years and still looks great but I made the mistake of using a pressure washer and I did blow a small piece off so avoid that and it should good. Thanks for commenting.
