How to Clean ABS Sensors - The Fast & Easy Way

This video shows how to clean your ABS sensors on a Volvo XC70 Or any other car
The cleaning is similar on many other cars and ABS systems tho

My friend, you used a magnet to reposition the abs sensor screw. Those abs sensor usually work with either a magnetized inner bearing seal or a ring. Bringing another magnet near to the magnetized seal or ring can demagnetize them which will manifest as later as the abs sensor not able to determine if your wheel is turning or not. This can set off abs lights and traction control. Running an obd code will tell you abs sensor not picking up signal and if you replace sensor you will continue to experience issues not realizing it’s demagnetized bearing seal or wheel ring. Both replacement parts not too expensive but can be time consuming because you have to remove rotor and hub. Save yourself a big headache by simply avoiding bringing magnets near those bearing seals or rings. I’m just saying 😉

If cleaning results in it not working do a resistance check on both sides. If you get no reading of ohms on one side it means it is open which is a broken circuit. If the other side say reads 3 M ohms or 5000 ohms or whatever it means the circuit is closed and the circuit is working... Replace the open sensor. If both sides read the same then you could have a problem with your tone ring or wheel bearing which has the the magnet built right into it OR no voltage issue which is another issue to deal with. you can turn your ignition on and check for voltage not on the sensor side but on the other side of the connector(not the sensor connector). Both sides should measure the same voltage say 12 volts or right around 5 volts. If no volts on both sides then you may have a blown fuse. If one side shows voltage and the other side shows nothing(0 volts) then you could have a broken wire. Then you look for broken wire and if that wire shows no break it could still be broke on the inside. Then you need to do a continuity test which is a resistance check for that wire. There is more but I'll stop here' The multimeter is the instrument in these cases. Votage ohms amps etc... is what multimeter is all about. If you don't know what you are doing take it to a back yard or good mechanic. You easily could get screwed on this. You can also get specific scan code readers for abs or airbag for these problems...Any way good luck

Great video. Good lighting and clear pictures. Thank you!

On some cars rust on the hub pushes the sensor out slightly which causes the abs to come on unexpectedly and intermittently. Remove the sensor, plug the hole so dirt does not get in (I have used the tip of a q tip) and clean the rust off the hub with some Emory cloth. Shop vac the hole then reinstall the sensor. A little light spray of white lithium grease will prevent the rust from coming back too fast.

This was a really helpful video problem for me is I just booked it in with garage for tomorrow AM, wish I'd seen this b4, I could do this thanks to Kim🤔

[robertmeyer]

Thank you for your presentation.
No intro graphics, no blather.
Straight to the how-to-do-it.
Info, not ego.
Awesome.
Take note, others who post, this is how it should be!
This is how you get followers.

Very knowledgeable, even though its not for my car what you explained really helped me what I needed to do qnd answered questions I had cheers!

[steadystevie]

thank you, this was helpful. I had just changed a rear hub on my Subaru and needed to tighten the master screw that holds the rear wheel. I wouldn't have observed this without getting after that rear sensor! Car running good again:-)

[philbrooksjazz]

Very clear and helpful! Thanks so much!

[edwardmccutchen]

anything I can learn hands on, god bless, sir💯,

If the dealer wants to replace the ABS module and hydrualic bump for an intermittant ABS light coming on then would you think it's best practice to clean or replace the sensors first then see if the issue is resolved? The module is pricey and the labor is as well.

[misterjones]

Probably a good idea to check the reluctor ring while you have the sensor out, as they can corrode and crack.

[balaskanthasivagnanam]

Thanks for this video. It is very informative and helpful

[timeallen]

They put that sensor right where it will be difficult to remove if it gets stuck and they often do yours came out easy.

[rgthomson]

Never seen one of these come out without breaking

[marvimarquez]

I have ford explorer sports trac, my Abs was blinking. I don't used my car every day. But the ABS was light. What should I do sir? Can I change new replacement sensor or I need to clean the sensor?

Really appreciated your response.

Thanks

It’s mighty car mods Moog’s Swedish cousin 😂

In Ohio the rust belt this maintenance is required yearly
Any way to spray on a protectant

[gregsantos]

Oh ok, so that's where and how to clean them, Thanks a lot, i have subscribed to your channel . Thanks again.

[ephraimcamacho]

Thank you for this info!! I like what you doing make more videos! Bravo great job!
