Baystate Jeepers

My bride's Hynudai is throwing ABS / TCS lights. They come on pretty quick but I found I can drive it just under 1/2 mile before they light up the night (guess who just got a sticker with no idiot lights to ruin their day?) From what I read it's possibly a cracked tone ring or wheel sensor. Or a litany of other things but those two are kind of common. I also read a Diagnostic Scan Tool can help narrow it down. I have no problem replacing a wheel sensor but playing eenie-meenie-miney-moe on what wheel sensor it might be isn't troubleshooting. It's guessing

So, anybody have one of these bad Larry Diagnostic Code Scanner Reader thingys that I could borrow? It's an '06 Santa Fe with OBDII

You may want to try doing a continuity test with a DMM on each of the ABS wheel sensors to see if any of them went open circuit.

Good idea. Tx Kurt

most auto parts places will let you scan a code for free, one of the very few good things about Autozone...

I have a code reader I can bring down to Woburn any day.

I think Cark is looking for the special ABS scan tool and not a generic ODBII (engine) scanner.
To my knowledge the standard ODBII scanner only deals with engine & emission stuff and talks to the PCM.
The ABS scanner talks to the ABS control module.

Want to talk to Ken? I can connect you to him. He has the full bevy of diagnostic chit...

You are correct sir. And thanks to all who offered their scan tools

Tx but I'm going to try the ghetto, DVM / impedance troubleshooting first. I'm on call this weekend and really can't do much but I can sit in my driveway, pull wheels and probe sensors
