In this video I repair a broken speed sensor on a 20101 Hyundai Accent that is setting a code for the speed sensor. Oddly enough the speedometer still worked. However this is the speed sensor that sends data to the engine computer. -Enjoy!

    Which side was the sensor at i have the same engine light code right now

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dakota Rickman says:

    Hi, I have the same code 0501 for my 2010 Hyundai Accent and it's indicating "speed sensor A". What side does this sensor go on? Driver front or passenger front ? Thanks

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hawk 1966 says:

    Ah, the Accent. I've got an '07 MC (2-Door) with just 49k miles on the clock. Solid little grocery getter. Lifetime free oil changes from the dealership. Every four months like clockwork. Free danish & bottle of water. Least miles between changes was 385 miles. Probably every time the oil going out looks like the oil going in.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zul Amy says:

    Not a hyundai, but my car is having the same code. Everything works fine, speedometer is functional, RPM meter is ok. It's just that the check engine light will pop out if the RPM exceeds 3000RPM. No ABS. I'm thinking that maybe using a slightly smaller tire caused the error code. Some says that the tachometer itself is faulty.

    Sometimes I just wish you live in Florida. I wouldn't mind to drive wherever in the state just to come and visit your shop. Then I remember I drive a Toyota and I forget about it.

    Dude!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gener Balolong says:

    thanx..for this video…giving me idea ,how to change mine..

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gene Hutson says:

    I would clean that reluctor ring on that axle. Give the speed sensor better magnetism when the axle is rotating

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kesateria Matahari says:

    Does this code affects the car performance? If not, I'm planning to ignore it forever, as long as my car works.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tommy Wooten says:

    Thanks for your videos buddy…

    Hi my garagist just change my sensor but the p0501 keep popping

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Datmudkipify | Gaming says:

    That cheap car is pretty nice here in Canada because it has no electronic features to get coroded away and cost you thousands every few winters. If only it had an AWD version for an extra few thousand. Regardless I still love my 08 Accent.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John D says:

    Leave the mumbling sound effects…and you'd have a great video!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dibby blandford says:

    I have a Kia Spectra with no ABS. Same setup you have there. I found out that if that sensor is bad you will never be able to set those three things to "Ready" because the wheel speed sensor feeds the PCM the speed signal. So you won't pass the state emissions inspection tests. If you had done a bit more 55mph driving they probably would have set (at least the Catalyst and O2 sensor)

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Casey Anderson says:

    I have to say. I really do appreciate the lack of cussing in your vids. Not like the other auto tech channels where every other word is an f-Bomb

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars alvin boreo says:

    Always charge more for imports they deserve it๐Ÿ‘

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars solidcobalt says:

    Watching that drill bit go through the remains of the sensor and get so close to the reluctor ring of the cv shaft stressed me the fuck out

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Kohut says:

    Nice!!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HansErben says:

    You wouldn't happen to know where the sensor is located on a manual transmission? I'm assuming the gearbox but just in case it's in a different location

    ALLAH MOST HIGH Has blessed this man with some good hands and brains .Good for him…interesting to watch him work and come up with new ideas .

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stuart Brooks says:

    I thought using anti seize near speed or ABS sensors was a big no is that wrong ?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donnie Robertson says:

    Good job

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Chambers says:

    That headliner tho ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿคฃ

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jim s says:

    Is it me, or did the volume go away after it came off the lift?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars seeya205 says:

    I just heat up the left over part and melt the plastic a bit then they pop right out with a screw driver. Clean up the hole with the Dremal and then the new one slides right in.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jtechmodern says:

    Nice and crusty should be under the welcome to New York signs you see on the highway ๐Ÿ˜…

    Excuse me, while I'll go hug a high mileage southern car. We deal with rust with some CLR remover and a tooth brush.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fenriz Wulf says:

    I sure don't miss working on all that rusty junk back East.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scarface24n says:

    did I read the odometer right? it only has 61,xxx miles on it and its in that rough of a shape.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luis Colon says:

    Thank you for you showing I fixed

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeffery warburton says:

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B&D Auto says:

    I get those calls all the time. First month in business, didnt realize they were scammers….dont do that. They still call constantly 2yrs later lol. Good video

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nodak81 says:

    The speed sensor for the speedometer is located on the transmission. Had the same trouble code on my '03 Kia Rio. Unfortunately I wasted the $$ replacing the sensor when the real problem was corrosion in the wiring harness under the hood. Giant pain in the ass to figure out, took me ages to track it down. I never did learn what this single wheel speed sensor is for, must be something the ECU uses.

    DANG ๐Ÿ‘

    Dig your videos, and I need some advise/help on a 03 Impala 3.4 camshaft R&R

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lukeman875 says:

    could you use anti seize where the speed sensor goes? just in case of future removal?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith on the GAP says:

    what a rusty P.O.S!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Campbell says:

    Well thereโ€™s your problem lady. A cases of the rusty Crusties

    A 2001 without ABS? or is it just like rear ABS?
