This Passat you activate the ABS every time you would put your foot on the break, this until the ABS, ESP and Brake light was illuminated\u2026 A quick scan revealed 00290 by using Autel MaxiSys MS908P<\/a>\u2026 But, was this a sensor problem? Follow me on this article to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.<\/p>\n

Car model and year:<\/strong> Volkswagen Passat 2008<\/p>\n

The issue<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

After starting the engine,<\/p>\n

ESP light on<\/p>\n

ABS light on<\/p>\n

Parking brake light on<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Passat Scanner to use: Autel MaxiSys MS908P<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already scanned the car, the ABS code is 00290 (left rear ABS wheel speed sensor implausible signal).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

when I drive the car, one of the things I notice is as soon as I put my obviously now it doesn\u2019t do it because there is a fault, if I clear the fault, the fault goes away, and when I drive the car as soon as I press the brake I can feel the ABS pump working and I can feel it on the pedal and I can hear it and every time you break and you carry on doing this a few times until it daily triggers the light.<\/p>\n

What says in Autel MaxiSys MS908P, there is implausible signals, so the pump or the unit is getting a signal from the sensor. However, when you first press, if I clear the codes when I first press the brake. The unit will get the signal, something the wheel is sleeping or whatever and he\u2019s going to obviously do what he has to do, only a few times later, because it\u2019s always the same thing, the unit is programmed to obviously. See that something is now right and trigger the fault, and that\u2019s the reason why it took me a little bit to make the lights come on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Driving the car.<\/p>\n

We go but they eventually come on as you\u2019ve seen, so, another thing is and let me show you because while I was there driving I did a little bit off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter \u201d Data Manager\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then \u201cReview Data, then \u201cVolkswagen\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I can only do three here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can only do next frame, anyway I took some live data and as you can see I have my front car, I can only have three, so I have my front right, speed rear left and rear right so the rear left is going to be my green and then so that should be the one that I needed to look at and as I start to go, so I was driving the car.<\/p>\n

Start the drive. And then look at that the green line.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s quite self-explanatory what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

That sensor is breaking either that or a wiring problem, so the sensor is reading and dropped.<\/p>\n

Reads again then drops all these is dropping.<\/p>\n

So is dropping at a certain speed, so either we have a sense of problem or we have a wire problem, most likely this answer because otherwise wouldn\u2019t read nothing at all I would say, but we don\u2019t know that yet.<\/p>\n

So my next step is going to be take the wheel out take this sensors and do an inspection and go from there really now at the moment.<\/p>\n

I think we easily established that the problem is going to be somewhere on the signal from the sensor to the ABS or the sensor itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Okay guys problem found so the first thing I\u2019ve done was obviously take the sensor off.<\/p>\n

You can easily see that the sensor has been rubbing on the magnetic reflector ring. It\u2019s<\/p>\n

marks there now when I cross a magnet in front of this which I have one here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Okay, obviously it\u2019s too big, but I can easily make a numbers to appear on the speed of these wheel, quite erratic but doesn\u2019t matter, it is working cable looks okay, connection looks OK.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So because of the state of this disk and in the fact I was touching what I decided to do was to put the camera, the Autel scope camera there and the hole of where the sensor is and that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m going to show you now, so that\u2019s the magnetic ring now I\u2019m going to turn the wheel, I know the light is not brilliant, let\u2019s see if I can be slightly different, let me actually put the phone down I can actually look at this properly.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

There we go, so I\u2019m going to rotate the wheel.<\/p>\n

Okay, so to start with I don\u2019t know if you can see there is a crack where is it okay, I\u2019ll go this way, so quite a little bit of damage in there.<\/p>\n

oh, look at that: another crack in there, not very good, it\u2019s a really bad, another crack right there.<\/p>\n

Another libya missing there.<\/p>\n

And this is the worst point, look at that, so the magnetic layer look at that there is and then there\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

You just finished look the other way. It\u2019s missing, you can see how bad it is. It\u2019s completely gone.<\/p>\n

So when he goes through this area here is when he fails to read look all gone and then comes up again, you can see there.<\/p>\n

Then you have the ring again, if I go back.<\/p>\n

it literally needs a new hub, a new bearing as far as I\u2019m aware, this is attached, is one of those bearings with the reflector ring at the back, so it\u2019s going to need a new hub, there\u2019s nothing else I can do, most likely still okay, so we\u2019re gonna get a hub and when I get a hub and replace it test it.<\/p>\n

and should be about it really I think.<\/p>\n

Good I have the camera, otherwise it will be very difficult to spot and hold bank it would be a little bit more tricky to diagnose but they we go there, we know what the problem is now that\u2019s going to get the parts and get these going.<\/p>\n

And there is a brand new one, so let\u2019s gonna crack on with this and get it replaced.<\/p>\n

Right, caliper is out honestly this car is in need of a break job to be honest with you it\u2019s really bad, right now we\u2019re going to take the carrier, so we can then take the disc and then have to take the bearing.<\/p>\n

Okay, and he was definitely a challenge to take the carrier out ready hurt myself<\/p>\n

And funny enough I didn\u2019t even hurt myself here, hurt myself closing the drawer on the Van, radio anyway so that\u2019s out was definitely a challenge to take these two bolts from the carrier, the bearing I think just a spur the camera.<\/p>\n

That we\u2019ve seen: no rocket science.<\/p>\n

Just come out.<\/p>\n

so the new bearing, so just curiosity comes with a new cap comes with a new bolt so we\u2019re not going to reuse the bolt it comes with a new bolt.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m going to put everything back on, I\u2019m not going to take you through the law, I\u2019m just literally gonna put everything back on. I\u2019m going to probably take the calipers give you a good clean and a little bit of Chris at least on this side because I\u2019m touching it.<\/p>\n

For now I\u2019m going to put everything back on because it\u2019s getting dark even though it might not look on the camera but it\u2019s getting dark and I want to get things done today and tomorrow, I\u2019ll try the car tomorrow morning, but yeah for now I\u2019m not going to take you through anything else just put everything back on.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Alright, I\u2019m glad I did the thing yesterday because.<\/p>\n

right, let\u2019s go to clear these lights to start with a vision clear the car yet so I\u2019m going to clear the lights and then we\u2019re gonna go for a drive and fingers crossed, the problem is solved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Okay, we cleared fault free let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Okay, first thing: no lights; secondly, I definitely can see oil I can\u2019t feel that and what you call it I can\u2019t feel the pedal a vibrating anymore, so there is no activating the ABS, anymore, when I press the pedal which would happen like.<\/p>\n

Even like now if I press the pedal I could feel it, it\u2019s absolutely perfect now, no lights come back on everything\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just gonna turn around and load the live data from Autel MaxiSys MS908P once more, just curiosity really because I know we fixed, but just to show you guys, I\u2019ll show you the live data just for you to see that and this is OK now, so let me just turn around here and I\u2019ll show you.<\/p>\n

Okay, so here we have it so real left as you can see up there is the green line, so I\u2019m going to start to drive.<\/p>\n

There we go. I think is self explanatory. Beautiful.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And back home and ready to move to the next, and last issue with this car, so stay tuned, but for this one guys as you\u2019ve seen problem is fixed cars driving absolutely spot on and in the end was just that reflector ring on the bearing, sensor is OK, the sensor is the same one as before, and yeah that\u2019s it guys, we got it fix.<\/p>\n

One thing that I would probably say is that the way I look at this unless the other side has been changed recently it might be very close to having the same who knows, but for now he\u2019s fixed guys and that\u2019s the main thing, so that\u2019s gonna wrap up these guys, I hope you enjoy this article, hope there\u2019s some information, whatever you\u2019re going to find useful.<\/p>\n
