ABS, TPM, AND DSC LIGHT SENSOR WIRE CHAFFING!

I am one of the many that have had the sensor or pulse gen fail and today I finally got to replace it. I was unsure what sensor was out I only had a front sensor to fiddle with so I started with the front left (drivers side) and well I put the new sensor in and nothing O/C/S (ops check same) SO I rotated my tires and cleaned my wheels both outside and inside and applyed wheel wax as I had them off already along with suffing up my brakepads to remove the glaze.

ANYWHO, I did the same to the front left and this is what I found:



The wire got "sucked" into the belts and was rubbing on a pully till well it chewed through might want to check yours out.

Wow, nice chew marks on yor sensor cable from the belt. How does the belt look on close-up inspection? Thanks for sharing your problem! I am outside iin my garage right now inspecting everything. Looks like everything checks out here, but good info just the same.

Did you find that the cable was not routed correctly?

Does the cable have clips to secure it and prevent this from happening?
