appaerntly my car is throwin a code for one of the wheel sensors (id have to call and ask the shop to remeber which it was for sure) but is this somethin i can replace myself or is it a pita to get to?.. also what are the affects of one of these being bad? and of course p/n anyone?

 

Maybe it's just loose.

 

might be, ill have to check it next time ive got the rear up to check out this crap with the ta mount.. anyone else with possible bad affects of a wheel sensor

 

I think the wheel sensor is integral with the front wheel hub cartridge. You need a new hub assembly to replace the sensor.

Try cleaning the area around the sensor, and check the harness connector for looseness or corrosion.

The rear sensor, mounted on the differential housing is replaceable though.

 

well im pretty sure they said it was a rear but i was thinking it had one on all 4 wheels so that saves the trouble of which one. thanks injuneer, i was also wandering if this could make the limited slip act funny?? im thinkin mines in the first signs of goin down (had another post about it awhile back) but could the wheel sensor cause it to act like that by not being able to judge each sides correct speed or slippage?

 

If you have only ABS, you have a single sensor on the diff housing. If you have ABS + Traction Control, you would have two rear sensors, one mounted on each backing plate at the end of the axle housing. But I don't think they ever actually installed TCS in any of the 94 cars, even though it was in the brochure that year.

The reluctor gear in the diff housing is mounted on the differential carrier. So it can't put out a varying signal if the axles are not moving at the same speed. The carrier rotates at the sum of the axle speeds/2. A slipping posi will not affect the sensor, and a faulty sensor will not affect the posi.

A problem that seems to crop up once and a while with the sensor on the diff housing is the sensor getting coated with metal particles, and screwing up the signal. If you have a problem with the rear sensor, you can pull it out and try cleaning it off. And its fully replaceable. Shoebox has the part # on his website parts listing.

 

thanks for the info man, guess i was just lookin for somethin to say my posi isnt goin bye bye... zexel torsen time may be here after this weekend according to how she acts at the track lmao.
