Is this a question?
my guess is you have brake errors.
and ABS errors and did not post them.
the ABS can infact be scanned, do so first.
or inspect the sensor that fails but first first is the brake inspection
as no ABS works RIGHT, in the world with bad brakes,
look at he failing sensor with eyes, is it damaged, or dirty. (in details)

SOURCE: 2000 jeep cherokee starts then stalls in approx 3 sec 4.0 has new crank sensor

I am going to assume that it will not run even if you push on the accelerator pedal?
Can you install or attach an old timing light to the spark plug wires, turn it one and try to start it. The light should flash with the engine running, but if it shuts off at time of engine die, and the engine is still spinning, you are losing spark, My suggestion is the cranks shaft sensor on bell housing.
Second, install a pressure gage on the test port on the fuel rail and watch it as you start the engine, fuel pressure should not drop as the engine dies, if it does, the pump is not working correctly. There are two modes of power to that pump, one to start and timed, for only a few seconds to prime the system, and one to run continuously. Find the wires going to the pump at the tank. Connect test light to those wires and watch what happens during crank and at stall, You should not have the pump shut off and the engine dies.
If you have spark, and fuel pump working, when did you last change the filter,,but I put that LAST.
It has to be one or the other of these.
Good Luck

SOURCE: Speed Sensor - Engine Light - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2

The problem is AutoZone. Stay away from that place. I once worked there and was amazed by the number of returns. They sell low quality parts, most of them rebuilt and listed as new.

The best of the low end parts dealers would be KOI, NAPA, and Carquest. All others blow chunks. Else, just go to the dealer.

SOURCE: jeep wont start.Have replaced ecu,coil,crankshaft sensor and wiring harness.Still no power to coil i have 1991 jeep wrangler 2.5 manual 4x4

Check the wiring going to the coil. If you installed an alarm on that vehicle disconnect the main power wire to the alarm to disable the ignition kill circuit. Locate the ignition relay located on the drivers side fender wall or in the power distribution box under the hood and test it. finally, there is a fuse on the interior fuse panel that will give you this condition. I do not have the exact location so check all fuses in the panel and replace any blown fuses.

SOURCE: I have 1994 jeep wrangler 4.0 inline 6 5 speed,

Hello
I see that you have replaced allot of parts that can cause this crank no start condition but you have not performed any fault code testing or at least you didn't mention you did. To obtain instructions on how to perform a OBD1 fault code test using the Check Engine light "BLINK" method click HERE Also you have not mentioned any testing of the Camshaft Position sensor, it is located inside the distributor, that may be the problem. The ICM (ignition control module) is part of the ECM (computer) and so if that is the problem you must replace the computer. Another thing have you actually confirmed the no spark, or are you just assuming, if so please test the fuel pressure, the test port is on the top of the engine, it looks like a true valve in the pipe that feeds fuel to the injectors.

2007 Jeep compass C101F code. Only threw the code after I replaced the wheel bearing, cv shaft and wheel speed sensor. What now?

This is possibly an issue with the Right Front wheel speed sensor. The ECU is reading a different speed on that wheel compared to the Left side. Check your wiring for the sensor you've fitted. Make sure it is fitted correctly and tightly fastened down. Check both sides.
It will be worth getting the ABS module checked as well. The sometimes throws up error codes if wheel speed sensors are disconnected or replaced.

Speed sensor code po501 where is it locate

is your abs still working, if so it's not speed sensor as the abs unit tells the ecu your speed to the speedo dash. sensor is on the left front wheel. from driving seat. but some countries have it set to right wheel depending on your country. it will be the connection from the abs unit to the ecu that's the problem if abs is working, as there would be no code from the ecu to the speedo. can be the feed from the ecu if the speedo flickers up and down,

Can the cruise control be turned of on the ecu bmw 320d e46 2003

Yes, The ECU can keep it from working. Could be a defect cruise module, button on the steering wheel, or wiring. And the speed sensor as Tom suggested. But you wouldn't have the speedometer if it were that.

2000 vw passat glx diagnosed(dealer) front wheel sensors bad - metal filings on old sensor after accident. have new ones - does ecu need to be reset from dealer or are replacement parts plug and play

I don't think the dealer needs to get involved, if you are just replacing the wheel sensors. Follow the repair procedure, and if it says to disconnect the battery first, then do so. It is plausible that an accident could scrape metal filings from the rotors or wheels and throw them around the sensors, I would think. Well, good luck.

Eds skid control activates for no reason. intermittant problem. dealer replaced power train control module, tcm processor and transmission solonoid pack. still fails.

The problem may be an intermittent problem with one of the wheel speed sensors, if one wheel speed data recieved by the ECU does not match the other 3 sensors the ECU will interpret that as a wheel slip or spin, this will cause the ECU to initiate the traction control.

1997 expedition PO503 code, 4WD, 4.6 motor, changed coil pack and spark plug

The code is specific to the engine speed sensor located on the side of the transmission near the output shaft. This device measures the output shaft rotation speed and allows the Electronic Control Unit (ECU - power control module) to program gear shifts as well as when to engage anti lock braking or traction control (by monitoring the output shaft speed sensor and comparing this with inputs from the wheel hub sensors). Locate the speed sensor connection and make sure the all the electrical contacts are free of dirt and corrosion. Remove the speed sensor and make sure that it looks physically OK and is clean, especially its tip. Check that all the wires are intact and that there is electrical continuity back to the ECU. The error code is consistent with an intermittent connection but if you suspect that the sensor itself is at fault it is not a very expensive item to replace.

Unti lock on all time. sensors cleaned.

Maybe the anti lock brake ecu is bad or the sensors need to be replaced on the appropriate wheel as indicated by fault codes for the ABS system.

Fault codes were not provided on the original 1989 model of the Saab 9000, but the 1990 to 1991 model ecu can be installed and fault codes read from the AntiLock warning lIght flashing codes.

Check wiring to ensure there are no opens to the module from the ABS Wheel Speed Sensors.

Maybe check that the wheel speed sensor is picking up a sinusoidal wave of AC electricity when the wheel is spun as seen on an oscilloscope function of a multimeter. This would isolate the problem to wiring or the ECU being at fault.

ATI LOCK LIGHT ON BRAKES WORKING BUT DONT FEEL THE SAME AS NORMAL

Check Brake fluid level.

When the ABS light is on, the brakes should revert to standard braking.

The only time ABS should invoke is when the tires are slipping as sensed by the wheel speed sensors when the wheel locks up on any of the axles.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS General Information Fig. 1: RWAL brake system diagram

There are two basic types of anti-lock systems available for this vehicle; a Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) brake system and 4 Wheel Anti-Lock (4WAL) brake system. The 4WAL system has two variations; a 3 sensor system and a 4 sensor system. The 2WD vehicles will be equipped with the 3 sensor system, but the AWD vehicles can be equipped with either. The systems are easily identified by looking at the rear wheels for a sensor harness. If there is a sensor harness and thus, rear wheel sensors, it is the 4 sensor system. If the vehicle is not equipped with a harness, it is the 3 sensor system. The 4 sensor system takes it speed references from each of the wheels. The 3 sensor system takes its speed references from each of the front wheels and the vehicle speed sensor located in the transmission (2WD) or the transfer case (AWD). The RWAL system components consist of the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the isolation/dump valve and the Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer (also known as the Digital Ratio Adapter). The ECU also receives signals from various brake switches. The 4WAL system components consist of the Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (ECHU) valve (also known as the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve or BPMV), the wheel speed sensors, Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) on 3 sensor systems and the VSS Buffer. prev.gif next.gif

The Service traction system, abs and anti lock warning lights keep coming on. I just had 2 oxygen sensors and a wheel hub unit put in. What could be causing this problem?

When the wheel hub was put back in did they omit to connect the wheel speed sensor? The ECU continuously monitors with sensors the speed of the wheel rotation and compares this with the transmission speed. Any disagreement due to wheel spin results in power redistribution to those wheels with traction. If all drive wheels spin and get out of sync with the transmission then the ECU limits the power output from the engine until traction is resumed. Likewise when braking a locked wheel has the brake pressure reduced until minor rotation is again resumed. A missing wheel sensor will cause a failure of both the traction control and the anti-lock braking system
