1 Fault Found:
00283 - Front Left ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (G47)
30-00 - Open or Short to B+


I tried cleaning the sensor, but no dice. I've had mixed feedback on whether to replace the sensor or have the ABS module fixed. I'm probably gonna order the sensor tomorrow, but wanted to see what you guys thought.

Default I had the fault code but it was due to.....

the wire buundle falling down, dragging on the ground and geting shorted out. Make sure there are not any shorts or broken wires.

If you can't find a short, you actually may have a bad speed sensor.
