Wheel sensor

[quadsourcemark]

Hello everyone,

I want to thank those who helped with diagnosis, code descriptions etc. Well I did change the O2 sensor and the check engine light is gone away. Still having issues regarding the front right (pass. side) wheel sensor. I think when I was welding it made contact thru the bearing housing or something. Murrys here in Michigan carries it for $160.00. That's the complete hub, bearing, sensor assy. When I drive it in the morning its fine. After 20 min or so it acts like it's trying to control the traction. It sputters and surges. Then the TCS light comes on and it gets a little better but it still hesitates. Then I turn off the traction control and it runs fine except for leaving from a stop in second gear. Hopefully after I change the Hub assy I'll be free and clear. Were can I make a Paypal donation for caddyinfo?

Best regards,

Mark

The scary part of this is that I am not sure what is more vulnerable to the welding, the sensor or the EBTCM.

Most computer chips are designed with a real effort for static electricity resistance, which becomes survivability on an assembled PC board. This applies specifically to the Microchip Technology Inc. PIC line, which is likely used in GM cars a lot because of its dedicated CAN bus hardware and software and other features specifically directed toward the automotive industry. Some ruggedness is also designed into the rest of the modules for obvious reasons; just don't put 24+ Volts on them from a fast charger, please. However, this does not always apply to the sensors themselves.
