C6 GS ABS Brake Sensor Issue
I have a 2012 Grand Sport. In 2020 I began getting the ABS/Traction control disabled warning light.
I found a shop to scan for codes and came back with an intermittent on the right rear sensor.
I replaced the hub and sensor and everything was fine for several years.
Now several years and maybe 14,000 miles later, I am getting the same error.
Put a scanner on it and it came back with the right rear sensor again.
I thought I was putting a quality part on at the time, paid $225, not the cheapest or the most expensive.
Yesterday, I jacked up the rear and unplugged the sensor and just for fun plugged in the old hub.
The light went out. Unplugged the old one and plugged in the one still on the car and the light came back on.
I can put a new one on, but the price range now appears to be anywhere from about $49 for an import to nearly $400 for a Timken.
If its only going to last 14,000 miles, I'd prefer to spend under $100 then $400.
Anyone else have this problem, Comments?
TIA

Nothing is made like it used to be. Even Timken is made overseas.
I went with Detroit Axle. They were inexpensive. Upon inspection they seem of fair quality. It's only been a couple of years, but we'll see how long they last.
