C0020
Component
Brakes
Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the vehicle to cool before working on the brake components.

Symptoms

  • •ABS warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Traction control light activated
  • •Inconsistent braking performance
  • •Speedometer malfunctioning or inaccurate readings
  • •Increased stopping distance

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan the vehicle's onboard computer with an OBD-II scanner to confirm the C0020 code and check for any additional codes.
  2. 2Inspect the front wheel speed sensors for any visible damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
  3. 3Check the wiring harness and connectors associated with the wheel speed sensors for continuity and signs of wear.
  4. 4Test the resistance of the front wheel speed sensors using a multimeter to ensure they are within manufacturer specifications.
  5. 5Inspect the ABS module and related wiring for any faults or damage.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Clean Wheel Speed Sensors

  • Locate the front wheel speed sensors on both front wheels.
  • Remove any dirt or debris around the sensors to avoid contamination during removal.
  • Using a socket set, unbolt the speed sensors from their mounting locations.
  • Carefully pull the sensors out of their housings.

3. Test and Replace Sensors

  • Using a multimeter, measure the resistance of each sensor (should be approximately 1,000 to 2,000 ohms, depending on the specific sensor).
  • If the resistance is outside the specified range, replace the faulty sensor with a new one.
  • To install a new sensor, reverse the removal process:
    • Insert the new sensor into the housing.
    • Secure it with the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's torque specifications (typically around 8-10 lb-ft).

4. Reconnect and Verify Connections

  • Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any signs of damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
  • Connect any disconnected sensors back to their respective connectors.
  • Reconnect the vehicle's battery.

5. Clear Codes and Test Drive

  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the C0020 code from the system.
  • Start the vehicle and perform a test drive to ensure all systems are functioning correctly and the ABS light is off.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
