Lx470 abs issue (need help) (1 Viewer)

[judemwright]

So I just started to have a problem, I don’t know what causes it or how it’s happening but I was driving around last night and I came to a stop sign and decided to turn left. As I was turning left it seemed like the passenger side wheel decided not to lock up but to resist me, not sure if it was the breaks or not. Immediately the ABS, VSC trac, and VSC off lights came on and there was some resistance in the steering. Not much and it didn’t seem to pull. I then decided to go home hoping there wasn’t an issue so I hopped on the highway and after about 8 minutes all the warning lights turned off and the steering went back to its loose self.

As soon as I made a left hand turn again the weird wheel thing happened again and all the lights flipped back on (the steering issue continued). The next day I decided to try and figure out what the issue is, as soon as I turned her on not only did all the lights turn on but when I started to drive my parking break light came on. I drove around for 10 minutes, didn’t experience any issues except the tighter steering. Eventually the break light turned off but the other lights stayed on.

Can’t figure out what’s going on. The only thoughts I have is I just replaced my wheel speed sensors and I got slightly bigger mud tires on the ol lx but I have no clue if that has anything to do with it.

Any information helps

Double check your work I would say. When something goes haywire after making some changes, it's usually that work that caused the issue.

Well I looked through everything and I unplugged and plugged the sensors back in, is there any other way of checking any of that?

I'm afraid I'm no ABS/VSC expert, or an expert on anything else, I just bought my first 100 series about a month ago. Do a "search" for this topic. I'm sure others have had the issue.

Why did you replace your wheel speed sensors in the first place? Were they bad? You’ll need to get a scanner that can read ABS code and see why it’s on, from then we can help you.

They were giving bad reads and causing some wheels to lock up for a few seconds occasionally when the suspension was soft and I was going through a turn 30+ mph. Read on a forum that it was the wheel speed sensors, it fixed my problem for about 3 weeks. Until this happened yesterday.
