on my 03tl-p, a while back some how they RF wheel sensor wires got cut or ripped, i soldered them and it was all good. now a couple days ago while driving both lights came on (while the car is on, the lights are off, once you move they turn on). i check all wires and connections and one got loose, i re-soldered it, put heat wrap on it and liquid electrical tape, and for peace of mind put regular electrical tape on it. now the light just stays on all the time. i unplugged the battery and pulled the clock back up fuse and the lights are still on.

anything i might have missed?

 

Umm, that usually means your tranny is shot. Do you notice it's slipping at all (engaging reverse and shifting through 2-3)? I would also take it to Autozone and have the codes run.

 

trans is good, the check engine light would be on and i never saw the d5 light blink. i baby this car unlike my 02tl-s. auto zone only check the check engine lights, not the abs or tcs

 

You can only run the codes if it is throwing any, which isn't the case here.

 

I would say replace the sensor/wire. There has to be something wrong with it to be causing it.

 

ok, ill try that.

 

agree with kris
If you ripped the wire apart once, then fixed twice, its probably bad down inside the main attachment point. On another car I had rust inside the connection at the wheel.

Sometimes you have to replace damaged parts with new ones~

Note- trans failure does not require a d5 light or others to occur
Note2- zone and other places can pull codes- not just engine codes
Whatever info the computer is holding- it should tell a machine!!

 

ive looked here

and couldnt find the sensor i need.

 

ABS & TCS lights are on. think wheel speed sensor was knocked loose. how much do those usually cost?

error codes are:
1301
&
3102

'Front Left wheel speed sensor'

autozone quoted me 250 fucking dollars?!?!?
is that normal?

i know for sure it's the speed sensor, but i'm just wondering if it's just more of an annoyance at the present time than an actual danger..?

 

speed sensor controls abs/tcs which are semi important
May screw up the cruise control too
Check with auto recyclers for a good used one
Call more places! Search online

got to be careful doing brakes- or tear out the sensor lead wires

 

ok. thanks
