hey guys i have a 2005 base auto tl. im wondering if any one of you guys have ever replaced wheels bearings and had problems with the abs/ vsa light .

OK so heres the rundown. i just replaced both front wheel bearings. While doing the repairs i noticed i chipped one of the wheel speed sensors. i glued it back hoping it wouldn't trigger a MIL, but i did. no knowing i damaged the sensor i went and bought a new one from Acura. Before replacing the sensor i scanned the car for shits a giggles. i noticed it was throwing me a code for both front wheel sensors. thinking one bad sensor triggered a code for the other i cleared the codes and proceeded with the repair.

Now after replacing the sensor i noticed my vsa off indicator light was still on and shortly after driving maybe a mile the lights pop up again. i scanned it again and i have the same 2 front sensors malfunction codes and running a live data i see that both wheel sensors aren't reading. does anyone know what this could be? ive looked for fuses and looked at the wires for breaks. whats confusing me is that im not getting a reading on a brand new sensor. codes are

12-01:right front wheel speed sensor malfunction
14-01:left front wheel speed sensor malfunction
61-01battery voltage malfunction

now after clearing and replacing the left sensor the last code (61-01) is now off but the first 2 still remain. any held would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

 

You either bought wheel bearings without the magnetic encoder, or installed them backwards.

 

I bought after market bearings from auto zone. Should i have gotten them from honda? But arent the teeth rigs on the axle give me readings? Or do they not have rings? Not sure myself i had it all apart but i cant remember. :/

 

I'm just going to get honda ones and bring back the after market ones. It's doing double the work but at this point I don't know what else to do. Smh

 

No teeth on the axle.


Speed sensor works off the wheel bearing. Didn't the autozone rep check to make sure they fit your vehicle?


These are the ones I purchased when I replaced my bearings

Thank you so much for the info and the help. I am going to get them tomorrow from honda cause I can't take the lights. I hope that will fix the issues. Thank you flyromeo3 for your quick and very much helpful response.

 

Update!!!

Ok I installed honda bearings with magnetic rings(autozone bearings did not have the magnetic rings) and I'm now getting readings on my sensors and my abs and brake light are off! Great!! BUT!! for some reason my information light stays on and after driving for less then a mile my VSA light and SRS come on!! Im still getting a code for abs system. 84-01: sensor logic malfunction. Flyromeo3 did you come across this problem ever?

 

I think you need to replace both sensors together and they need to be configured to the vin of your car. Seems like I heard this. Call Acura before you spend another penny
