Abs light on after replacing hub bearing

How to Replace the Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly on Ford Focus Part 1
How to Replace the Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly on Ford Focus Part 2

I took 10 seconds to look this up, what's the reason you couldn't?

Rather than just the bearing, I suggest a new half shaft as the bearings and ABS tone wheel are already assembled. These Escapes are notorious for cracking the tone wheel setting off a code and then disabling the AWD system. So for a very few dollars more than it would take to disassemble the shaft , install bearings and tone wheel just get a new one.

I'm sure the code indicates that your ABS sensor went out. It's located in the front wheel hub assembly, and to change it, you need to replace the entire front bearing/hub assembly. They are about $150 per. But it the truck is handling ok and you can deal with the light, it's not a big deal since it's just a sensor....

The front wheel bearings are replaced with the entire hub assembly, we don't have the exact model info but we do have access tot he Ford Explorer instructions, which are pretty much exactly the same procedure with minor differences. Bolt torque on the new hub nut is 285 Foot pounds, you do need heavy duty tools as you will see.

I had the same noise on my 06 SE FWD right rear wheel. It is more than likely the rear bearing. You have to replace the entire rear hub assembly. I bought a used part for nearly 1/2 the price of a new one on eBay. Fixed the problem and not to difficult to do yourself or about 1hr labor at your favorite repair shop. Had several estimates up to 2 1/2hrs. Don't go there, one hour is enough time. Lift car, pull wheel, undo caliper from brake assembly, pull rotor out of caliper, unbolt 4 bolts holding hub assembly to brake assembly, tap hub assembly from back side, should come off pretty easy. Install new hub assembly and reassemble in reverse order. I haven't done this on an AWD so I don't know if it is more complicated/difficult. Hope this helps.

Hi...your problem might be coming from your front wheel bearing hubs. They are know to cause this problem as they wear out and eventually have to be replaced.

If I helped...please rate me...thanks!

sounds like you need a wheel bearing, on this model you have to replace the hub assembly.

Sensor will be part of hub bearing assembly, remove brake caliper, brake rotor will slide off, on back of hub bearing will be three bolt's, remove bolt's, disconnect ABS harness, and hub bearing should come off, some time's will have to used a harmmer to knock it out due to rust.

THE SHOP NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS OR A HAND HELD SCANER WILL ERASE THE CODE,BUT IF MORE THAN JUST THE LIGHT ON THEN , A SHOP SHOULD FOLLOW UP ON THIS,THE LIGHT ON MY CAR IS ON ,NOW EIGHT YEARS, WHAT CAN I DO?????????

You can do it yourself just take your time:
To change front wheel bearing.
1. Jack car up support with jack stands
2. take tire off
3. take caliper and brakes off
4. take rotor off
5. unbolt axle shaft nut at bearing hub
6. use a 3 lb slug with a block of wood
7. place wood on axle shaft and knock it in
8. back side 3 10mm bolts unbolt
9. front side have to pry off bearing hub Assembly only beacuse has dirt in knuckle hole.
10. clean hub knuckle and reinstall.
Its really not that hard or you could have them done for $900 and up. (I have changed alot of wheel bearing assemblies )Whats your e-mail I can send you a diagram if you want.
