DMGRS Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I am seeing three amber warning lights indicating a wheel sensor malfunction. Carly's scan indicates that the rear left sensor is functioning intermittently. Are there two sensors: one located in the hub and the other an insert type, as indicated by internet sources? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Could you assist the members by clarifying what you mean by 'wheel sensor'? Anti-lock Braking System? Tyre Pressure Monitoring System? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMGRS Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Certainly - receiving codes C1207 and C1208 - left-hand wheel speed sensor - intermittent and invalid - no signal. I am attempting to ascertain if the issue is with the round sensor in the hub or the plug-in sensor, often known as ABS sensors, which measures the rotation of the hub sensor. Kia only sells the whole hub with the sensor for around £300+ (they are closed today). The current ring sensor may be purchased online for around £20-30. The inserted sensor plug-in is also available online for around £30 or more. I hope this is comprehensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Have you examined the schematics in the Partsouq.com catalogue? Input your vehicle's VIN to get a comprehensive list of components, including part numbers and exploded schematics. Hyundai and Kia share several components, allowing them to be classified under either brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VVC-Geeza Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Since it is an intermittent failure, inspect for damaged wires or bad connections prior to replacing the sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
