I am getting the brake fault message on my HUD. I was told when I bought the car that the brakes are new, just need to replace the wheel speed sensors in the front.

Hello,

The ABS/Wheel speed sensor can be replaced easily and in a relatively short period of time.

Here is a helpful video on how to change the sensor:

After the installation you might have to reset the error light.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
