Great close up camera angles, great simple, No BS, straight to the point, explanations. I’ve seen many videos on the same subject and this is by far the best. I feel confident on taking on the job now.
Looks fun working on cars with zero rust !
So true I like to see t his job done here in northeastern part of the country where everything is rusted 🤪🤪🤪

I can not imagine working through rust. My work gloves go out to you.
Great speedy video no extra weather reports and my youngest son stories Thanks !
This fixed my 'traction active' problem I've had for months and the ABS activation while braking and slow speed problem that just recently started happening on m 2004 5.3L Chevy Tahoe 1500. Had grease all over the sensor. Cleaned up the inside the best I could and the test drive was successful! I can't believe it! I was going to bring it in and it would have cost hundreds of dollars! I lucky guessed the bad side so I didn't have to do this twice! Thank you!
Thank you for this comment
Sounds like your bearing(s) could need replacement if the sensor is full of grease. Are you hearing a growling noise?
@@barretgerlitz4406 6 months later and still no growling noise and no more issues at all. I really don't have a lot of miles on that hub.
Thank you sir
Did this cause your truck to feel sluggish while driving also?
Great video. Clear and concise. 👍
Excellent video. Good explanation, safety tips, and clean views of the work.
Dude, thank you for this. The one video I watched told me to grease the sensor before putting it in. That only required me to have to take the wheel off, clean the sensor, and reinstall it. Thanks for the clarification!
Just did this on my 05 escalade. I decided to order new ones rather than clean them since I didnt want to redo this. Im glad I did because one of the old sensors came out in two pieces! Works good with the new sensors.
My 2015 Silverado had a recall on these sensors so I would have dealer check vin for any recalls before doing this yourself. May save you some work. Good video.
Great video. straight to the point informative no unnecessary chatter. Thank you.
Will try it on my C5 Corvette. 👍
Thanks
Great video
Excellent!!
TY for this video.
everyone puts locktite on, no one explains why! great vid! thanks for this 👍
So the bolt dont back out.
I missed what year truck is this that use a T30
I believe my 02 and maybe up to 07 uses T55
Are you not able to replace the harness without completely removing the caliper?
how do you replace with a new sensor? Wiring connector on mine is stuck and won't come loose no matter how hard you pull. red tab slid back to disengage the clip.
2011 gmc yukon will front sensor cause brake lights to stay on?
Danny, Great job with the video. I have a 2005 Yukon Denali XL and the driver's rear brake caliper started sticking. I replaced the caliper and disc brakes. But now I have the brake and traction control light on, do you think the heat from the sticking caliper could have damaged the sensor? THANK YOU
I’m in the same boat as well but it’s my front driver lol when I reverse it’s difficult. And my tc and abs light is on .... did you fix your issue ??
Forgot to mention we are in the midwest, so of course the torx head was completely rusted and stripped right out, but switched to a hex head and worked just fine after tapping the bolt with a hammer and striking rod gently.
I have a 2000 Astro van, 198,000 miles. Today I got warning lights, "Brake" and "ABS". I shut off the van and started it up and the lights went away. My fluid is ok. I am guessing this could be caused by a dirty sensor. If something was broken, the light wouldn't have gone away. Would the fronts or backs be more likely to fail, get dirty?
Awesome. U da man
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! See my others on this yukon here czcams.com/play/PLIjr-uSYDZi7J7EQ1ErTn1Yzi6ET_3Ssr.html
What do you mean by you could get shutter?
My truck was a T30 and my Avalanche was a 5mm...
C'mon GM ... youre killin' me here 😂
20 years AGO GM had the Same Recall to Clean the ABS sensors to cure Pedal Drop due to ABS Activation on slow parking lot speeds during Braking
Lloo.m. .mo

Around 2006 GM recalled Sierra 1500s that were in the designated Rust Belt for dirty/ corroded front wheel Hall effect sensors and hub to remove the wheel and rotor, inspect, remove any dirt and apply a zinc spray to the area of the hub that works with the sensor.
Ha! You just described the problem I’m having with my 02 Sonoma. Now I know what to do!
What issue does this process solve? I have the 'traction active' message with the grindy sound/feel when moving from a dead stop. Wondering if this might fix that problem.
Did you figure out the issue?
nice video. my abs wire is cut can it be spliced back together? thanks
It should be fine as long as you properly wrap it as well
My 2003 Escalade ABS and TC light come on and occasionally my truck stalls. If I switch this sensor out would it fix that problem? And is there a sensor on each wheel?
It depends on what the issue is. There could be several, ranging from a brake boost leak to the sensor to the abs module, to low fluid. You'll need to figure that out before you'll know.
Same issue here. Did you figure out what it was?
Have same issue 04 suburban lt1500 when abs light comes on car tries to stall out. Getting abs code C0237
@@disciplez0 mine ended up being the wheel bearing being worn out.
Found out it was the right speed sensor. The stalls are coming from intake manifold gasket.
Great video will try this! Do you happen to know about a service stabilitrack warning? Where can I find that or have you done a video concerning that matter?
There are various videos on testing speed sensors. Check those out. If you are having a problem with the Service Stabillitrck, Service Traction Control, and ABS light on. Then the problem is probably a speed sensor or the wiring the to the speed sensor. Cleaning a speed sensor will not usually fix your problem.
So might need to replace the wire huh
Great video,save my money. One of mechanic told me “ABS MODULE went out,cost around $5000 “ but this video made resolved my problem. One thing please tell me what is blue liquid you put on caliper mounting bolt? What they call and where I can purchase? Thank you!!
Loctite
@@capitalr8649 Thank you
I'm doing this on my 02 duramax and I have those two smaller holes on the disc but they are empty.. what is there purpose and should I find some to put in or can I leave it as it is? Thanks for any help 🙏
Sterling Ignatescue If it’s where the screw was in my video it meant to hold the rotor in place/ on. The lug nuts will do that and the brakes, but it’s there for a reason so maybe go pick up some from the dealership
Right on I'll do that tomorrow thanks for the help! Great video too, had it apart and back together in no time 💯
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage they are there for the assembly line from what I hear
@@MrChristianbowman82 I’m sure it’s very helpful to keep the rotor on while wheeling the drivetrain around on a hoist. It’s more solid than the little metal washer they have used (maybe still also use), but just hope people know it’s torx and don’t strip it.
It was driving fine without them, why put them back? They're only there to hold the rotor on during the assembly line
After replacement do you need a scanner to reset?
I would try unplugging the battery for a few minutes first, and if you continue to have problems then it’s possible
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage did you reset with the scanner?
I have a 2016 3500 Silverado, I had a oil change and tire rotation, after this service I started getting a front end wobble while braking like a warped rotor, the truck only has 64000 miles on it and it doesn't do it all the time but when it does it can be pretty extreme, the mechanic was pissed because I wouldn't buy a upsale of replacing the cabin filter which has nothing to do with the oil change or wheel rotation and I suspect he sabotaged something in the brake system to cause this as the wheels were still off when the disagreement over the cabin filter started, my question is what could he have done to cause the ocassional brake wobble?
I don’t think he would do that for liability involved, but it could be something with the brake components, even steering related tie rods, pitman arm, etc. With the vehicle safely on Jack stands you can push on the steer wheels by hand to feel for any slop. If not, take it to another trusted mechanic for diagnosis to be safe
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage although you don't think he would do that the guy shouldn't have had the cabin filter out for a oil change and the service department called said the truck was done, I drive there and it's on the rack with the wheels off and the service writer has the cabin filter in his hands to try and convince me that it really needs replacing after he already sent a picture trying to make the sale for $80 bucks and I already said no. After that I waited another hour for the truck to be finished. So although he may not have done anything it looks really sketchy. The truck only has 64000 miles, has never been off road or in the mud garage kept and regular maintenance it's still like new. So it's something abs I think and just was hoping to find a GM mechanic that might have a idea of what it might be. The shop was a Chevrolet dealership that twice before has pulled some sketchy stuff so I don't put anything past them, I'll find the problem but probably not here.
Probably over torqued your lug nuts warping your rotor
Hey Danny i have a 2004 yukon xl denali 1500 the check engine and the tc light comes on everytime i brake hard even sometimes when I'm just sitting at a light.Reduced Engine Power can only drive 30 miles per hour. Whats your take? Could it be the speed censor?
Andy Francis Have you found out why the check engine light is on? If you take it to a parts store like autozone they can usually run the codes for free. I would start there to see what the computer code is saying. It’s going into “limp mode” to protect the vehicle.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage yes i already got a code for accelerator pedal positioning censor' changed it twice same problem
Andy Francis Just checking- was it the “throttle position sensor” in the engine bay that you changed? I would also look into cleaning the mass airflow meter
Andy Francis czcams.com/video/Lsfe6h8jZ0k/video.html
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage no the pedal position censor also changed throttle body same issue.
Did this on my 05 and it's kicked on my stability track and abs light. Any ideas? Going to throw old one back on and hope it goes back to normal.
Have you tried disconnecting the battery to reset the system?
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage No but going to try that in a few.
@@brycebolden9606 what was the issue?
@@brandondonovan8402 Ended up getting grease on the sensor from the CV axle. Pulled it out and cleaned it up and worked fine. I'd check sensors by obd2 or take each sensor out and clean them then check all plugs to each sensor.
@@brycebolden9606 ahhh interesting, did you discover it right away?
What kind of product did you use to clean the sensor?
Degreaser with a micro fiber towel. You don’t want to use brake parts cleaner or something that will damage any plastic or rubber
I dont out anything hard down the hole to the tone ring. Too easy to accidentally damage it and it wont grab anything magnetized off of it.
Spin the wheel and gooch it good with brake clean and then right away, while still spinning the wheel, hit it with compressed air.
Easiest and fastest way to clean the area.
Change the abs rear sencor 2015 terrain
why not push down on the breaker bar rather than pulling up?😭
my light will come on for a few days then go out .. i will try this first ..
can i use w-40 to clean the sensor?
Excellent video. Strongly considering giving mine a clean. I’m sure it’s hard to say without actually being able to lay hands on the vehicle but I have a question.
I recently purchased a 2010 Avalanche with 79k miles on it. Clean CarFax, everything looks excellent. I seem to only get “service StabiliTrak” and “service traction control” every so often when making low speed turns.
I feel as though it’s the wheel speed sensor, what says you??
Michael Knight it very well could be. This is a free way to clean these and give it a try!
Michael Knight I have a similar situation. I recently purchased a 2007 Chevy Tahoe and I’m having the same issue with the brakes when I do low speed turns. Hopefully this can be the solution to the problem
Did you find the problem? Same issue here...turn the truck on no stabilitrak light...but as soon as I turn the wheels the light comes on.
@@fuyou1999 my buddy ran the codes and the steering wheel position sensor is reading incorrectly. He says it look like whoever installed the lift may have had it disconnected and it spun a full revolution. Or the sensors bad itself. It does it so rarely I haven’t address it yet. But will soon I suppose
Remove the sensor. inspect for rust that is pushing the sensor up and increasing the air gap. If this is the case, stick a piece of rag into the sensor hole, this is to keep debris out of the bearing. (DO NOT TURN THE BEARING AS THE RAG CAN BE LOST IN THE BEARING). Clean the rust off the mounting surface with a small 3m scotch brite wheel. Do not grind it , just clean the surface,( REMOVE THE PIECE OF RAG), then reassemble. When this situation happens there are no codes, but you will here the ABS brake unit activates and happens at low speeds maneuvering like 5 mph or when slow turns and the wheel speeds can vary at times. Its NOT the steering wheel sensor.
Might as well change those brake pads. You know you want to 😆
I did change them soon after. It’s in the playlist as well now
Does every wheel have this Sensor
Yes, most new cars have it for the abs wheel speed information.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage If all four wheels have this how do you know which one is bad
So this was happening to my 04 gmc Denali and I changed the two front wheel speed sensors and nothing! It actually made the issue a little worse now the car drives 10 mph or less and reads traction active so it has to be something electrical which I can’t figure out... my Denali will only drive fine when the traction control kicks on and the abs. Also really important information I need to mention is that my traction control button has a short on the wires so I can’t even use it.. my Denali randomly turns it on along with the abs.. can you or anyone relate to this and help me figure out how to fix it or where to go? Thank you
Cleaning the sensor is one thing to attempt, but if there is another issue, that needs to be replaced. I would see if a shop can read any codes from the computer that have come up to tell you which part is actually in need of replacement. It may be a traction control module or something along those lines. The car is going into limp mode so it should have a code for why
