I've never checked. Roab said it was RR wheel sensor IIRC. I have the parts, just need to get a special wrench/socket to fit the LR wheel sensor.

How "consistent" is yours? I can actually go a few days and not see mine ... or maybe that's when I'm ion the other Q?!?!

thats how mine used to be but it progressively got worse now within 1-5 minutes then disables.please check ur code when car is running. comp is behind left rear speaker under deck lid. takes 30 seconds to check # of blinks rear side of abs computer. i bet ur code changes like mine. did rob have this problem before the 408 ??7 = rr sensor6 = lr sensor13 = secondary throttle position sensor

Unfortunately...I can't determine if I had the problem before the 4.08 or not as my TCS actuator pump went to hell before the 4.08 was installed and the TCS actuator pump was replaced after the 4.08 was installed and then I was still throwing the code #13 always...right rear wheel sensor. Never got any other different code and checked several times. My old car seems to be doing what it use to do in that you could go for a while a times and no problems and then at times all of a sudden a code that what seemed to be somewhat related was hitting an expansion joint in the road at a high rate of speed. The system would be fine and then all of a sudden immediately when I hit a bump or expansion joint cruising 60+ mph the damn TCS/ABS would trigger instantly so I thought it might be more electrical or loose connection somewhere.

My 408 has been working wonderfully! No tcs and my abs works fine.From the sound of it I'm glad I don't have tcs.
