When the ABS light comes on it also took out the Trak capability. Trak was automatically turned off after the sensor light came on. The real problem I had with this is that only 2 months earlier I had to get both front calipers replaced because one fully seized up and the other one seized on the inside piston. That was about a $1000 charge. I don't know exactly where this sensor sits but i would figure it to be on or very near the caliper that it needs to check. If you replace anything on the brake system would you not verify that all of the parts in the system are functioning to spec. I also found out that my 2005 van has the calipers from the 2006 model year. This seemed to cause a little confusion for the non-dealer repair shop who ordered the wrong part twice before checking the number on the caliper.

The ABS light and the break light is on,, I have been told that it's the wheel speed sensor.. To me something this old should be cover under a recall, I have been told that lots of them have this problem!! I wish I knew where to go that could help me!!The lights are annoying and I;m sure is dangerous to have problems with something like this!!!!

The ABS light came on; no other problem was obvious. Took the car to the dealer who pulled codes and said the right front speed sensor and the ABS controller were bad and had to be replaced. I never had a problem stopping. I never had a problem with the speedometer. But being concerned about possible braking problems when I was planning a trip, I okayed the repair. The car is just over 4 years old with only 29000 miles on it. The dealer charged me $1004.47 for this. I don't think the car should have had this problem and I certainly don't think it should have cost this much to repair.
