Hi guys I recently changed my wheel bearing, and while I changed it, i pulled on the cable accidently. And after putting everything together abs light was on 3 seconds after I started while standing still. And when I hit 18kmh esp light comes on.
So I thought I had trashed the sensor and changed that. But still has that problem. No codes from a cheap obd scanner. The wheel bearing is the right way.

What should I do next?

Hi

Read the wheel sensors with lexia clone tool

It will tell you which wheel is giving the fault and what the fault code is to diagnose the problem.


As you found, a cheap scanner won't read the abs ECU.

If the ABS light comes straight on when you start the car, then it's the sensor or the wiring.
If the light comes on when the car starts moving, then it will be the bearing or misaligned sensor.
