TITLE:
Install Wheel Bearings Correctly to Prevent DTCs
APPLIES TO:
2003 Accord, 2002-03 CR-V, 2003 Element
SERVICE TIP:
When you replace a wheel bearing in a make sure you install it correctly. If you don't, these ABS DTCs can set:
- ABS DTC 12, 14, 16, 18 [wheel sensor (electrical noise/intermittent interruption)]
- ABS DTC 21, 22, 23, 24 (magnetic encoder)
The brown dust shield for the wheel bearing also doubles as a magnetic encoder for the ABS. Before you install the wheel bearing, make sure the
encoder is clean and free of metallic particles, then install it so the encoder is toward the inside of the knuckle. Install the encoder carefully so you don't
damage its surface.
