Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he has a look at this Jeep Compass with an ABS Light, 4WD light, and Traction Control Light on and a code "C1041 Left Rear Tone Ring Performance" code stored in the ABS Unit. Now mind you this vehicle has a new speed sensor, pads, rotors, calipers and a new wheel bearing all on the left rear. We soon find out that "NEW" does not mean "GOOD" - Enjoy

I replaced my hub and now traction control lights came on. One step forward. 2 steps back
I'd travel the 690 miles to have Mr. O look at my vehicle. There is no one where I live that would do the things he (Mr. O) does in his videos near me. NO ONE!!! Even the dealership where I live are under investigation for ripping off consumers by both BBB and the FTC
Hi Eric,
I just replace the front drivers side wheel bearing on my 2010 Jeep Patriot 4wd 2.4. I know I broke the little black tab that is connected to the speed sensor and now I get the ABS, Traction control light and the 4wd! light. Is there a way to replace the little black tab that sits against the bearing? Thank you for your videos they are a great help for those of us with no clue… lol
Nice. I live in Dupont. Dealing with similar issues. Have my 4wd! ABS, and TRACTION CONTROL light on.
Please put on the seat belt, just to stop the noise on your video from the warning chime. Great work otherwise.
What is a drag test
Excellent video. Great troubleshooting skills.
Si
The best part of these sensors is that they are current based, they alternate between 2 current levels. Since it is 6 and 14 milliamps (for one from a 5th gen Grand Caravan), both of which is <20mA, the current rating of a standard 5mm LED you can literally hook an LED in series with the sensor and watch it alternate between dim and bright as you rotate the wheel.
So the manufacture records a pulse train on the magnetic strip ring and you read that back like a cassette tape.
Defect in the magnetic material possibly? Keep other magnetic items like magnetized screwdrivers away from that magnetic strip or you'll cause problems!
I fixed mine in 10 minutes with PB Blaster
Corrosio
Its the Relay Box behind the drivers side headlight
***I made the mistake of buying a used 2010 Jeep Patriot. Why Chrysler uses such cheap-ass wiring, coupled with some bad engineering is beyond me. I have probably spent 8-10 hours chasing down faulty grounds on this vehicle. That there doesn't sound like much so probably times that by 10 if you want to put it into days wasted…
***lol I was unplugging some of the electrical plugs because from time to time that's what you have to do if there's issues with a particular warning light that keeps popping up once the vehicle is started. The n that would fix that issue but then, it would cause another warning light to get triggered. Then it's back to searching out other plugs to unplug-plug back in scenarios..
***I ran into the issue of ''Not Starting'' so I traced it down to the ''Relay Box'' which is located down below the left headlamp, next to the left running lights & the inner front left wheel well. Placing that Relay Box there seems suspect in the first place. Why an engineer would do something like this had to be for guaranteed problems that would benefit their Dealership's Repair Facilities… Out of all the areas under the hood of their vehicles, I mean putting the vehicle's main Relays down where they'd be subjected to condensation, salty slush and the worse corrosion you could expect is just mind boggling….
***The results of the last time I worked on it & was able to get the ''Battery Warning Light'' to Stop coming on whenever I started the engine, then the ''Front Seat Heater'' stopped working, I fixed it then, the ''SRS Airbag Warning Light'' came on the very next time I started the vehicle. I belong to a couple of Jeep Forums. One is for Jeep Patriot Owners. The Patriot line, just like the Compass line is loaded with issues that all seem to be related to the ''Rustbelt States''. Almost all the folks in the Patriot Forum that are plagued with issues like mine are in those states. The ones with the least amount of issues live in warmer areas of the contus. I know from experience that Chrysler knows all about these issues since they run tests prior to releasing new models. In other words, if an issue goes into the 2nd model year, then Chrysler is aware that it's a combination of poor engineering & low quality parts. It's a shame that Chrysler doesn't seem to care about these flaws caused by engineering designs
***This afternoon since it's a sunny day out I'll be changing the cvt filter because there's a whining noise. Then back to getting our ''Everyday Driver Vehicle'' fixed so my Wife can park the ''Spare Family Vehicle'' which is what the Patriot is. Just an emergency vehicle to use. In fact I'm only keeping it for that reason.
Okay, I am done bitching about our Patriot. Eric, thank you so much for uploading all the repair & diagnostic videos to YouTube. You are helping so many folks out here who probably don't have the finances to just get rid of a vehicle & buy another one/newer/new one to replace it, I'm sure you are well respected by thousands of folks out there. You Rule Eric – South Main Auto Repair. & thanks again…. MD……….
New means cheaper to manafacture not better quality!
New does not mean oem.
We are missing the hello viewers and welcome back to South Main auto
Cool how that did work out
You could put a small screwdriver on the magnet and see if it's magnetic all around.
Eric do we know each other because I really like females only. Sorry for the confusion.
Wear your seatbelt or you will be givin a ticket and you will go to seatbelt hell.
Where they make you play musical chairs with seatbelts.🥵
Eric, I am older than you. I have been working on vehicles for well over 30 years. All side work. Mainly brakes, exhaust, and I have done motors as well. But watching your videos has inspired me. I have taken things I have learned from videos and am using them in my repairs. I really like the diagnosing part. I have scanners. I have even purchased an oscilloscope so I can pin point the issues in those stubborn wheel bearings. Thank you.
"Life doesn't give you seatbelts" ROTFLMAO. Great job Eric.
Fascinating diagnostic.
Texting and driving reaction time is is the same as drinking and driving. Testing and driving is probably the same. Testing and driving without the seatbelt on puts you at the top of the stupid list, sober and still making stupid decisions.
just like new cars doesnt always mean good. like tesla and kia all garbage
II tell you this guy SMA know how to use that computer like a CHAMP
Eric, thanks for the video, learn alot from you!!
Awesome video eric!!! I recently had a 2012 jeep wrangler with a wss circuit fault code pro demand identifix and my snapon solus ultra said i should see a square wave from .8 v 1.6v on the signal wire……wrong!!!! I did some more digging and research and checked our component test feature in our snap on triton scanner and it stated that the abs module is looking at small voltage and amperage changes and then it started to make sense to me. I SWEAR half of my battle doing diagnostics is having correct service info and accurate description and operation info
You know this is just simply beyond most mechanics….
awesome video ty 🙂
WOW all that work would cost $500 where i live…all due to poor quality parts when new??
Hi Eric, I need your expertise….
I have a 2001 Taurus that I am on my wits end with. The brake pedal sinks to the floor.
I have replaced the master cylinder twice…Advanced Auto, after market……Still goes to the floor. All the brakes calipers, rotors and brake lines have been replaced!
No Codes on the ABS. I have a Launch X431 pro Mini Scanner. I have pulled the ABS and tried to clean in Ultra Sonic and blown out. Activated the valve via scanner seems to be alright No Codes for the electronics Module.
I must of did a full bleed 10 times now….Still goes to the Floor?????????? WTF could be wrong???????
Well, I have a 2007 Jeep Compass (same color), similar problem. I am not going to buy a computerized oscilloscope (more expensive than the vehicle is worth). So, looking at the length of your video, I am guessing it will take the stealership an hour to figure out what's wrong, then $500 to fix it. My Compass may be trash.
Horn works, try your lights. It's the dream catcher causing the problems.
Great video.
ABS Light, 4WD light, and Traction Control Light always on so accidentally fixed it myself. Jeep Compass 2012 battery finally died last month so a lot of warning lights went on at that time. Changed battery and replaced battery clamps (one clamp falling apart
live across street from the ocean) but 3 lights listed above would not go off. Mechanic quickly used electronic gadget at no charge to try to cancel lights and said to come back if any lights came on again. Not all lights cancelled so drove for 1 month with those lights still on when yesterday morning I had a mini temper tantrum while seated with car on and only pressed hand brake button quickly three times while hand brake is in lowered position and warning lights finally went off! They are still off. I had previously tried pulling hand brake up tightly and lowering since lights were to do with brakes a bit, but that didn't change anything. My next step was going to be to search online for something to try but accidentally solved it myself first. Check your manual or online for other light fixes – like resetting oil change light after it's done. Once a mechanic didn't cancel warning light to change oil and I found combination in manual of how to cancel that myself –so know a lot has to do with repeating a step 3 times. Yes – sensors are good when they work.Good Video! Auto Warehouse Parts Zone stuff……P.I.T.A. ! Dealer specific parts can be a little more pricey, but will save a boatload of comebacks
I had a 2008 Jeep Patriot which is a Compass with a squared off body style. Yup. New sensors, bearings, tie rod ends, upper and lower control arms (front and rear), body bushings, rear shocks (after only 3 years … factories leaked). Engine and transmission never had an issue (except the spark plugs at 72k). Let's see … oh, wires rubbed through at about 60k go to the rear wheel sensors and lost all the fancy safety stuff on a 6 hour drive back with the family. No ABS, no SRS (yes, you read right … turned off the air bags), no 4WD, and transmission would not go into full overdrive (CVT transaxle). All for a rubbed through wire. Surprised to me the dealer patched the wire rather than demanding replacement of the whole harness. He ran a two new wires and shored up the point where the rub occurred. Now I have a RAM and Durango. What was I thinking?
Don't make fun of "dream catchers".
They really work, if your dream is to be gay…
Too bad they have to condemn the bearing because the speed sensor was faulty. File that wave for the future.Dare we ask who made that bearing?
Piece of junk Jeep that made in USA. Even you put a new parts in it.
If I had a dollar for all the defective parts Iv'e installed and the resulting fight to get warranty service I would be retired
sensor, we don't need no stinken sensors.
Thanks for the video.
Just use the damn OEM bearings. You'll get poor odds of using an after-market bearing on one side and getting the ABS system to function properly. This is a critical safety system and your life is much more important than saving a few bucks on a wheel bearing. You are, by far, the most expensive thing to repair if there is an accident. I am totally against after-market parts for critical safety systems; won't use them.
Stepping over dollars to pickup pennies. Customer probably now spent more on shit bearings than if would have just bought a good one from the rip. People are stupid. And when his shot bearing starts making noise in 4 months he will have to buy another one.
Looks like you had TWO problems, a glitch on the tone wheel that gave you that anomalous pulse, and a loose sensor, which really messed up the speed reading when you went over a bump. Too bad you didn't try banging on the suspension while plotting the computed speed.
life doesn't give you seatbelts. that is good. got to remember that.
Well, if the parts used were not probably made in china they might be good but most chinese parts fail in a short time. Junk cheap chinese parts. Also, thank you for the information about location of the rear sensor plug ins, my kid inherited a heep compas from hell from her mom and it has been one repair after another including a whole new engine cradle, old one rotted out so bad you could literally poke you're finger through it.
