I had it 'scoped' at Auto Zone (it's free and they can't hurt anything), he told me it was the speed sensor and my speedometer should not work. Well it does, and everything seems to be OK, so I just said' looks like the light stays on'. That was a few weeks back. Today while I washaving the front end aligned the tech asked me if my ABS light was on. I told him no and he said the ABS SENSOR wire was rubbing on the tire and had worn through. I went home and spliced in a piece wire ,taped it good,routed it properly and ----LIGHTS OUT! Also saved $75.00 by not buying the most obvious fix (speed sensor module).

 

Well done!!!!!!

 

just curious what would the abs unit have to do with the speed sensor? because my check engine light is on it was on before giving me the p0501 speed sensor code. so i went ordered a new speed sensor and put it in cleared the code and then after driving it came back on. I went ran the code scanner again now it comes up
"p0501 mod$11
Vehicle Speed Sensor A Range/ Performance"
and it comes up with another code
"p0501 mod$11
Vehicle Speed Sensor A Range/ Performance PENDING"
Any one have any clue why it would do that?
