Q&A

The ABS and ESC OFF lights did not come on until after the front right wheel bearing replacement. It was immediately upon starting my vehicle after it was returned from the repair shop. That is why I believe they did something that caused this. Any advice on handling this with the mechanic is very much appreciated. I have to call them again today because the Check Engine light came on, immediately upon the return of my van from them yesterday after checking the problem with the ABS and ESC OFF lights.

it sounds like they may have damaged the sensor during the operation. the sensor has to be removed to perform this operation.

is the code for the abs for the right front wheel??

I don't know what the code is, they did not put that down on the invoice, only the description that it is the "right front wheel speed sensor going bad".

from your description. I believe that something went wrong during the repair.

get a second opinion from another shop before you go back to them.

I am not disputing the battery replacement. I question the bad wheel bearing complete replacement because when I called in my appt. I asked the to check the driver left side because I was hearing a scraping upon making left hand turns. When the called to tell me I needed a right side wheel bearing, I questioned this because I had asked them to look into the left side. The response was, that is what they are telling me is wrong and needs replaced if you want to pass inspection. So, I had it replaced and now the problems have escalated with the needing a replacement of the wheel speed sensor. They disconnected my ABS because the told me they needed to until I replace the wheel speed sensor and this was perfectly safe. I drive two very young children around in this van. Are they correct that this safe?
