Good morning,

Did you change the sensor on the wheel that has damage?

I attached the procedure below for you to view.

Thank you for your reply. yes, I replaced the sensor and still having the same issue. just the hit broke the ABS unit plug so the mechanic wired the sensor directly to the unit cable.

That was not a good idea at all. The wires are so thin that joining them is very difficult.

Can you give me the code that was set?
