Left Rear ABS Sensor Fault after wheel bearing change

[bellkyle]

Looking for some thoughts and next steps here on a 2014 explorer xlt AWD. Had a wheel bearing beginning to fail and replaced that using autozones duralast DL590446. bearing came out relatively easy, however the abs sensor in the knuckle was stuck in. Ended up having to remove it broken. Replaced this sensor with a autozone Duralast ABS Wheel Speed Sensor SU13742. Fitment seems correct. While I was in there I replaced the rotor, brake pads and caliper. After putting it all back together and on the test drive explorer rpms seemed limited and started throwing faults. Got the terrain module fault, abs, I turned traction control off, (won't allow it to turn back on). Got service advanced traction control fault as well. Vehicle will drive fine but cut out the 4WD somewhere in the 3000rpm range.

I've looked at everything I touched wire wise and haven't found anything that looks to be of interest.

I put the explorer on forscan and got a handful of codes - C0037:64, C1B00:64, U0121:00, U0415:00. C0037 Is what I expected to get with a sensor throwing funky stuff, and the rest of them as a result.

Where I'm getting a bit stumped is what I got with the live data. I had expected to be getting static from that sensor at a stop, or absolutely erratic info from it if there was loose, shorting, or corroded wires.

What I actually got was equal rates from the front right, left, and rear right. The rear left fluctuated equally in line with the other 3 sensors. Acceleration and deceleration. Where I'm getting stumped is the actual reading. It's showing (2x)1+/- the reading of the other 3. Where I'm getting 44mph on the other 3 I'm showing about 88mph on the rear left. It's stable at this rate up and down. Presumably this is my issue but I'm at a loss for the reasoning.

I'm at a loss and looking for any thoughts for how to proceed before I go back and start tearing stuff apart again.

I believe this is the OEM part; 2010-2019 Ford ABS Sensor AE9Z-2C190-B | TascaParts.com
Might be worth changing it to see if the problem goes away.

Swrapped out the duralast part for a motorcraft one. Still seeing double speed coming from the sensor in question. Now have to wonder if it's going to be worth swapping out the bearing for a motorcraft or higher end one. If it's a teeth issue with the duralast- I'm sure someone else would have had this issue before. The fact the speed is nearly an exact 2x the speed of the other 3 wheel speed sensors is still interesting as well.

im literally dealing with the exact same issue. did you ever figure out what the problem was? 2013 eplorer sport 3.5l eco awd i replaced the rear hubs and sensors now the left rear isnt reading correctly. same dash lights and symptoms.

Which hub(s) and sensor(s) were replaced?
What did you use for replacement parts?
Do you have Forscan available and have you read the ABS fault codes?

FWIW, it sounds like the wrong sensor was used by the guy who started this thread. There are different sensors used for vehicles with and without the automatic park assist (APA). That option was only available on the Limited trim but not on the Sport and the lower trim levels. The sensor for the APA actually has two sensors internally that are mounted back-to-back so the ABS computer can determine wheel rotation direction. I suspect it will also provide double the signal pulses and cause the C0037:64 (plausibility error) if installing in a vehicle without the APA present.

Hey I want to be part of this too. I'm having the same issue, I bought a moog wheel bearing, put it in and had to.drill out the old abs sensor. I bought both abs sensors with and without automated parking system ( standard ignition was the brand). Still with the same problem, disconnected the negative cable, then the positive cable, then both cables.

What are your specs on your explorer, year, engine, AWD/fwd, and the part number of the moog part.

Welcome to the Forum.
FYI, Levittown Ford is a forum vendor and offers members a discount on shipping. I've read some posts here that were not too kind regarding Moog parts. I doubt that is the issue you're having but I always prefer to stay OEM. My vehicles are always under warranty anyway.

I never did. I suspect a fault in the abs module itself but never pursued it.

So what I had found out. At least this was working for me. New moog wheel bearing. Bought a sensor without parking assist( or whatever it is called). You will know if you have it, if you have a (P) button under your light dial. So when putting in new sensor I disconnected the negative and positive cable and turned the head lights on for 5 minutes. And drove my car and the lights on the dash went away
Hopefully that helps some of gou

I'm having the same problem. Replaced the left rear wheel sensor and still getting an error for it with all the other ABS, traction control BS. Can you elaborate on how how you solved this?

I mean I pretty much said right on here what I all did. I don't know what information you want
