My lights came on out of nowhere and they are just staying on. These are the same lights that come on when you hold the DSC button down. Any ideas?

My brake sensor light was on for about a week then went off. Pads all looked ok.

Wheel speed sensor, or your alignment is way out.

I will have to check it out. Alignment seems ok so I guess it must be the sensor. Can I replace it myself.

Yes...you can replace yourself. It's bolted, with one bolt into the back side of your brake assembly. It takes a Torx.

I have an extra wheel speed sensor...I could send you, as a troubleshooting technique?

The speed sensor is oriented just a tad different, but the picture below is what your looking at.

I ran across this video while searching and wanted to stick it somewhere, so I could watch it later....
