Hello! First post. This forum is incredible.
I have a California CVT 03 insight that I recently bought and have been enjoying tinkering with! My current issue is regarding the ABS throwing up a permanent 15-01 code. Unfortunately I’m in the middle of a move and all my tools were put away so further troubleshooting will need to wait.. But I think I collected enough info to figure something out.
My question is: why am I getting a permanent ABS code?
Used to working on Pre-Obd 2 vehicles without ABS. If anything seems painfully obvious that’s why!
Here are my observations:
-Arent permanent ABS codes supposed to exist only on 2010+ vehicles?
-Both rear ABS sensors were swapped with known good ones
-Followed troubleshooting tree for ABS sensor. Ohms checked good at the sensor and up front. Values were well within but I need to do this again. Done hastily late one night 🤷♂️
-Vin reads as an 06 Dodge Ram when I connect my scan tool. Does that mean anything here? Any way to fix that?
-Code pops for the rear right abs sensor and my code reader live date shows 0 mph for that wheel when moving. No codes pop for the rear left sensor but code reader also shows 0 mph for that wheel as well. Both front wheel speed sensors measure speed fine with no error codes.
-Abs worked when I first got the car but would engage early and shutter coming to stops. I suspect the previous owners were pulling fuses to keep lights off and everything functioning (is there anything I can pull to reset this permanent code? Pulling the clearly marked ABS fuse (or two maybe?) in the engine bay don’t reset anything. Just need to pass an inspection so figuring out how to make the ABS light work properly for maybe 30 minutes would be acceptable. Was hoping a
-Both sets of ABS sensors were cleaned and inspected. Abs rings on both hubs were cleaned and don’t seem to have any issues.
-Rear right shock was blown. I figured this shook the old sensor to death. Rear right wheel was looking pretty sad before I changed the tires and shock. Have not done alignment
-Followed wires as best as possible from abs module to rear abs sensors. All seemed well but are there any places I could check? I suspect rats or mice had made a home just rear of the front right wheel well at some point. No other wire or chewing damage has been found in that area or any others (at least yet)
Thank you!
