Default ABS Sensor Replacement

If the computer has stored a DTC that says "L/R ABS sensor failure" is there any reason to replace all four?

Why wouldn't you just replace the left rear unit?

We took the car in because the ABS light was coming on.....brakes still worked great. The service writer called and said a sensor had failed. I said "how much is it going to cost?" and they said $475.

OK, so it's expensive, fix it.

When we paid the bill, it said all four sensors had been replaced: 291 for labor, and about 45 bucks apiece for the sensors. According to my calculator, I overpaid by about $200.....I'll be calling the service manager.....

Thanks for the reply.

apparently, there's a TSB #05-003-07 that came out on 6/13/07 ... it says to replace all four ABS sensors when one goes bad ... (but I can't findthe contents of itanywhere -- NHTSA.DOT.ORG has a summary, it just says "ABS sensor..")

I wonder what's going to happen to all the poor saps who got their car worked-on prior to June.......better stay BEHIND any Pacifica's you encounter ! ! ! ;>

oh well now that u say its a PAC then yes replace all 4 and y because they are all crap as for as the abs sensors and everyone knows it. U replace one and next week another one goes out all to common. SO yes replace all 4 so that for your sake and the dealers ships u dont haft to come back all mad becasue your abs light is on and they say u now need another one that was not the same one that u just replaced hard to tell that to a cust when thay dont see what goes on and the proof that the one that wsa replaced is working right. so yes they did it correctly and u wont have any more isues from the wheel speed sensors.
