Subaru Legacy – Front Brakes & Wheel Speed Sensor Problem

1. Awesome video. Like all your videos they are informative. I have a 2017 Crosstrek with same code. In your case, the WSS in front right illuminated the dash and you had the moment. I love it. It showed the intermittent issue. So then you kept driving. Based on the live data, it looks like the sensor came back to life and it was working fine again. At that time Did the dash lights go off, ie, the vehicle computer recognized that the data coming from the WSS was good again and cleared the dash lights (aka Christmas tree lights)? Or did you have to reset the ABS module to clear Code C0023? If so , which tool did you use. Hi to Mrs O. She’s awesome too!

2. I've done lots of break jobs but i always learn from watching you thank you sir it's always a pleasure watching you in action I always tell my customers we we must do the break's correctly we don't mess around it's to important 🤠

3. I feel so sad for the wheel sensor that was never rubbed. Not a great way going through life. Nothing like a good rubbing.

4. Subaru Legacy Outback 1998 2.5 Liter Automatic Vehicle Speed Sensor. my check engine light is on and my speedometer is dead. autozone scanner says vehicle speed sensor is bad. i didn't see any codes, just the gentleman at the autozone says vehicle speed sensor is bad. i have looked all over the internet and nothing nowhere to find anything about this part. i see wheel sensors but no vehicle speed sensor. where is this located? part number? anybody got pictures, schematics, diagrams, videos? please help. thank you. b

5. Did these sensors trigger p1710?

6. "Sterilize it with a cigarette lighter", classic Eric O. That was really a good one.

7. What air hammer model is that?

8. I'm from UK, where English originated. Pungi speddle IS correct. So there.

9. Great job 👏🏼 !! Thanks 🙏🏽

10. Changing only one variable at a time is a great troubleshooting rule of thumb, but it should really be about changing only one dependent variable. In this case, if you had cleaned the seats and swapped the sensors, there is no situation where the outcome is more ambiguous than if you did them independently. If you did both and the problem never came back, you still know that the seatment was the problem, and if the problem did come back, you know if the problem is following the sensor or not. As it is now, all you know is that it isn't the seatment. There could conceivably still be something wrong on that side of the car that isn't the sensor itself.

11. You mentioned in another vid I watched recently book time for some of your services. Being where you live and the extra steps you must take to deal with the rust…your labor times should be billed accordingly from what I can see. God Bless you for dealing with that on a daily basis

12. Im curious as to why you don't do new hoses with the calipers?

13. Where does one get that fancy wheel stud cleaner

14. I love Mr O, he does great work…but theres a lot of things on his brake jobs that could use work.

    Always clean rotors with brake cleaner. They have coatings on them to prevent them from rusting. Always re grease new slide pins because i know for a fact there isnt enough grease in there. You don't need loctite on caliper bolts, ive done thousands of brake jobs, never used loctite once. Brake jobs are so easy, they don't need to be complicated more. Grease the shit out of slide pins.

15. My wife was recently kidnapped by a gang of Mimes! They did unspeakable things to her!

16. There’s a guy I know has an 08 sonata and he had a caliper replaced a while after he asked me about a noise, his brakes were metal to metal on that side but we’re fine on the other, turns out the new caliper one of the slide pins had a bushing on it and caused the slide pin to seize

17. The factory torque spec!!

18. Dad joke; Mike Tyson and Chris Hemsworth were working out together. Mike Tyson says to Chris Hemsworth. Hey, are you gonna be Thor tomorrow?

19. parts in stock means common problem

20. Does mrs.o make lunch for the whole shop or just you and fam?

21. This kind of stuff is why I like your videos. All the things you should do to make the repair. Spending time on cleaning up rust was a waist of time. The job only calls for this much time. These are things I was told from a shop manager I worked for. I had a car with no ac once that I found damaged wiring harness that was wrapped up in the cv axle. I was told the time I took on the repair didn't make enough profit. Although I had a happy customer because there ac worked. The shop couldn't make the money they wanted to make. I don't work there any more.

22. I’m coming up on needing to replace brakes on my Outback. I’m inclined to buy the parts from Subaru. Is the good Napa stuff equal, better or worse than OEM?

23. …Never, hammer in a brake pad like they do at RRR, down in the Florida lands of no RUST… LOL

24. Me: I badly need to clean my room. My Dad: Your room is already badly cleaned.

25. Your wife is the stuff of dreams, Eric. Must be a great partner to have, also you both got an awesome sense of humor.
