Re: Amber ABS & red Brake lights, replacing hub speed sensor

No, not low on brake fluid... Well I took it to an AutoZone which had a scan tool that read a fault with the rear driver-side speed sensor (the one I replaced), however the device couldn't reset the fault. The salesman there suggested the battery be disconnected for a longer period. Well over severa...

Re: Amber ABS & red Brake lights, replacing hub speed sensor

I disconnected the battery for about 5 minutes, but the two lights still appear in the dash.

Re: Amber ABS & red Brake lights, replacing hub speed sensor

I took it to an Advance parts store and their code reader only addressed check engine light codes. Maybe I'll take it to an Autozone, or disconnect the battery.

Re: Amber ABS & red Brake lights, replacing hub speed sensor

Wow, I'd hate to take it to a dealer. Any other options?

Amber ABS & red Brake lights, replacing hub speed sensor

I had a very bad rear hub on my 2004 AWD Vibe with ABS, which wobbled and ultimately ruined a very expensive Speed Sensor attached to the hub. When the sensor blew, amber ABS and red Brake lights came lit on my dashboard. I have since replaced the hub and the sensor, however the lights still appear ...

Re: On 2004 AWD ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS???

Thanks bluneon. That seems to reflect what RockAuto said, and what I've observed thus far. So now I think I have the right hub replacement, but I don't know how to get the big nut off of the rear AWD hub. Seems to have some sort of key engaged. I'll try to upload a pic or two, maybe make this a new ...

Re: On 2004 AWD ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS???

RockAuto responded to my email. Their response... "Thank you for your email. I checked with manufacturer and the technician at Timken confirmed that this vehicle has a tone ring around the axle that is hooked up to the sensor. This is why the hub assembly doesn't have sensor connection on it.&q...

Re: On 2004 AWD ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS???

BTW, I called attention to this to the RockAuto site, and they took down all references to the rear hub having ABS in AWD Vibes. I was able to find the image I linked to in my last response by querying the Toyota Matrix, which I think RockAuto hasn't yet made the connection on their website.

Re: On 2004 AWD ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS???

It has a sensor that's in the hub? Really I don't care about ABS, I know how to emergency brake myself, but I want the car to be "legal" on the road. What about the rear hub? Does it need/have an ABS sensor if my 2004 Vibe is "ABS" ??? Or does the ABS sensor, that you see on non-...

On 2004 AWD ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS???

This is driving me crazy, has postponed my repair numerous times. On the 2004 AWD Vibe with ABS, does the rear bearing hub have ABS??? Is there an ABS line leading there to connect to a sensor, or is the ABS just in the front wheels? I've been able to find everything BUT a rear hub for AWD (requirin...
