The car had a bad wheel hub on the right rear side so I bought the wheel hub to replace it. After it was put on ABS and traction control stay on and kicks in while driving. Well, I thought maybe the ABS sensor was bad. So I replaced it had the lights reset afterwards then after that it popped back on while driving again. So I replaced the VDC relay switch thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Still didn't work. I'm out of ideas and money trying to fix this problem. On a OBD scanner it throws a code right ABS sensor. None of this happened until I changed the wheel hub out and yes it is 4 wheel ABS.

Couple things. First can you provide the specific code you are getting for this? Also can you provide the part information for the hub that you replaced? I am thinking that you replaced the hub with a non ABS part or the hub is faulty in some other way.

Here is a guide on replacing a hub in case you or others need it:

However, if you can provide the code and then we can run through the testing.

Also, here is a guide that will help with a general test on a wheel speed sensor:

As you can see, I suspect the issue is with the part we just need to figure out what it is so that we know if you need to replace it again or not. Thanks
