Dash lights, again. Plus a starting issue.

    So, a similar issue again. ABS, ESP/BAL, Traction Control, and Brake lights all showing on the dash at the same time.

    Checked for codes, and a front left wheel speed censor had shown. Changed that out, cleared the code, but all lights kicked on again.

    Checked again for codes, and it said an ABS fault. Cleared that, and the lights are on; again.

    All other wheel speed censors are in tact, with no damage. Could this be caused by dirt in the hub assembly? I’m running out of options here.

    Secondly, a starting issue. The motor almost quarter turns, but after a few attempts it will start. Replaced the battery, starter, and neutral safety switch (only because shifting to neutral will usually cause it to start). Maybe a coil pack? The alternator tested fine, so I’m not sure what other route to take.

    Thanks for any help or advice.

    Zach.

    Im thinking it could be a bad wire causing the lights, or dirt/crap built up on the tone ring. As for the starting issue, check your power connections to the frame, and starter. Make sure they are clean and tight. Might have gunk built up under the connections too, so remove the cables, clean, then re attach.

    "ABS fault - cleared that".........did you repair the fault? or erase the code?

    I would look at codes, also freeze frame info.
    POST all codes.

    Why would you suspect coil pack- no misfire, no code- am I correct?

    Does this surge only happen first start of day ?
    Are you loosing fluid - coolant?
