ABS and traction light on

Hello.

Haven’t posted for a while. Today just as I arrived at home both lights came on. There’s a lot of snow and ice so ABS and traction is being activated quite frequently. Other than that I don’t have any ideas. What to do? What to look for?

Thanks.

EDIT: Google shows front right wheel speed sensor voltage out of normal range. Could be dirty sensor, failed sensor or wiring. Possible to get to the sensor to try to blow it with some air?

If the sensor is dirty, air won't clean it. Either the junk is magnetic or grease and will need to be physically wiped off.

It's a range/performance code. Anything that interferes with the normal output of the sensor can be a cause. Could be anything from a metal flake stuck to the sensor to a glitching ABS module. Best to clean and inspect and then go from there. If all looks good and the sensor was clean, replace the sensor.

I get 68128181AC as the correct sensor. That's for '12-'20. Those others are for '08-'11.

The grease goes around the sensor head to help it go in the hole. No idea why they sent so large of a packet. Looks like it could do all 4 twice and still have some left. Most will send dielectric grease, but given the color that's not it. It's good to put a bit of dielectric grease in the connector to keep out junk, but don't do it with that stuff.

One of my previous vehicles had a tendency to get slush and frozen crap built up around the hub area which messed with these sensor readings. I had to either go to a car wash and have the underside washed or pour hot water over the area (after knocking out the mass) to get it working right again.

It should. You can only clear codes when in Run but with the engine off. Maybe a bad dongle?

Are you looking to clear the stored code? If the lamp is off, there are no active codes and there is no problem. Some scanners will only clear stored codes related to engine/transmission.

Yeah, looks like a stored/confirmed code since I had the ABS sensor issue. I’ve been able to clear comminication codes with OBD Fusion and the dongle. Maybe need a special scanner tool to clear ABS codes? Shouldn’t they clear automatically if the light isn’t on and the issue is fixed?
As it can be seen from the picture there’s no description of the code. It says manufacturer defined.
