I changed the pass. side hub and it went out for about a week or so. It came back on so I figured it was the drivers side, changed that today and it's STILL coming on!

What else do I need to check into? I'm tring to sell it and DO NOT want to have these lights pop up during a test drive. Especially because right before it does the ABS pumps a couple times and its really hard to stop.

Check all the connections, front and rear. Make sure there aren't any broken wires or moisture in the connectors.

I'm going to go the the brake shop today and see if they could atleast tell me which wheel is sending the signal. Instead of me searching for something I don't know what I'm looking for.

-- Thu Nov 03, 2011 7:45 pm --

Well I went to the brake shop and they told me to come back tomarrow. They were cleaning up for the day. They closed at 7 and were cleaning up at a little before 6:30! All I wanted them to do was hook the stupid computer up to see whats going on. They weren't going to get dirty or anything. So now I just wasted 1 1/2 hrs driving + the gas.

But I did notice that my brakes feel soft and that going down a small hill I actually slowed down. I'm wondering if one of the calipers is sticking? I did smell what I thought was hot brakes when I got out of the car at the shop.

I had a similar problem to this on my 07 and it ended up being corrosion in the connector on the passenger side. The dealer should be able to tell you what wheel it's coming from.

I took it to the shop and they checked it out. The pass side wheel speed sensor is showing a malfunction code, BUT it is also reading the speed fine. He said if the sensor was bad it would read nothing so it's gotta be the wireing or plug.

I'll check it out sometime this week..

Put some dielectric grease in the connector and it fixed it. I hope its fixed for good.

Well I still have the car and just had the lights come back on AGAIN!

I was hoping it was because it was sitting since Thanksgiving (I started it every couple days but never moved it.) And the rotors were just rusty and not moving good, but i'm not sure.

Bad part is that the first people that want to come look at it might come tomarrow. They really like the pics and want to test drive it.
