Finished the install of a MOOG front hub assembly on my 06' yesterday. Passenger side. I just installed a new set of Toyo M/T's and wanted to get it done before doing any damage to the new tires. BTW, I got a little over 60K out of this set of Toyo's. Anyway, the install went well. I started coating all offending parts (axle nut and 4 hub bolts) with PB Blaster daily, a few days before the install. Took me about 5 hours total with all hand tools. Got the 1" and 11/16 socket and adapter at Sears for 20 bucks or so, total. Anyway, long story short, everything went back together with no issues and now my ABS and parking brake light are constantly on. I've reset it with my programmer and driven it 5 or 6 miles with no luck in getting it to go off. Bakes are working fine, and parking brake is fine. Any help in diagnosing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Happy Independence day everyone. Thanks guys!!

 

Did you save your old ABS sensor wire?
Did you route the new wire through the crappy tin bracket exactly where it belongs?
Most likely it touched something that spins and wore through in about 4 seconds.
You have a bare spot somewhere. Or a bad sensor...

 

Yes, I've got the old hub assembly with the ABS wire, but why would I spend extra money to buy the upgrade Moog "exact fit" part and have to splice on the old wire? Also, I checked the wire it's touching nothing. And looks fine. Someone has to have had this issue other than me.

 

Found the issue. After being absolutely sure that the ABS wire was not touching anything, I went back out and looked again and guess what....
It was touching the back side of the rotor and wore through. I found this as I was getting ready to dis-assemble the passenger side assembly to diagnose the issue. I feel like an idiot...as I was sure it wasn't touching. Here's the issue, and it's not entirely my fault. Turns out the ABS wire on the MOOG component isn't as long as the stock wire and if routed in the exact location (clips and looms) as the stock wire, it will hut the back of the rotor and wear through in about two seconds as mentioned above. So with a couple of butt connectors, shrink wrap and electrical tape, all is well. MOOG still needs to lengthen the wire for it to be exactly right.

 

It's also pretty easy to remove the sensor from the old hub and transfer it, or just keep it for a spare. It may be difficult to keep moisture out of your splice repair on a permanent basis.
