Honda Accord ABS & Power Loss: Speed Sensor Alert
Summary of the thread
A 2015 Honda Accord was experiencing power loss, an ABS warning light, and non-functional traction control. The suspected issue was related to the ABS speed sensor's voltage supply. A similar case with a 2018 Honda Civic revealed that a faulty wheel speed sensor, often integrated with the wheel bearing hub assembly, could cause these problems. The recommended solution was to have the sensor and possibly the hub assembly checked and replaced if necessary. After addressing the faulty ABS speed sensor, the Honda Accord's issues were resolved, restoring normal vehicle function.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! That's exactly what I was dealing with too. Really good to know I wasn't alone with these issues. Just wondering, do you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for the whole repair job? Also, has everything been running smoothly since the fix, or have you noticed any other quirks popping up? I've heard these sensor problems can sometimes be tricky to diagnose properly.

Hey there! Just wanted to follow up on your questions. After my mechanic visit, everything was sorted out, it turned out to be exactly what I suspected, a faulty supply voltage for the ABS speed sensor. The total repair came to 170€, which included fixing the defective component since the sensor was integrated. Honestly, it was worth every penny because the car's been running like a dream since then. No more power loss issues, ABS light's staying off, and the traction control is working perfectly. It's been about a month now, and I haven't noticed any other problems popping up. You're right about these sensor issues being tricky to diagnose sometimes, I got lucky that my mechanic pinpointed the problem straight away. My 2018 Civic feels like a different car now! Much more confident driving it, especially knowing all the safety systems are working as they should. Just make sure you get a mechanic who really knows their stuff with these electronic systems, it makes all the difference in getting it fixed right the first time.

Thanks everyone for your input! Just wanted to update you on what happened with my Honda Accord. Finally took it to a new mechanic yesterday, and wow, what a difference! Turns out it was indeed the ABS speed sensor causing all the trouble, just like you mentioned. The repair wasn't as expensive as I feared, cost me around $200 for parts and labor. The mechanic showed me the old sensor, and it was pretty worn out. The best part? The car's running perfectly now! No more power loss, the ABS light has stayed off, and the traction control is working like it should. Such a relief to have it fixed properly. Really glad I didn't wait any longer to get it checked out. Extra bonus, found a really good mechanic in the process. They were super thorough and took the time to explain everything. Sometimes a bad experience leads you to better service, right? Thanks again for all your help! It's great to be driving with confidence again.

I experienced similar issues with my 2018 Honda Civic (gasoline engine). The symptoms were identical, power loss, ABS light, and traction control problems. Had it checked at the garage last month. Turned out my wheel speed sensor was faulty, and since it was integrated with the wheel bearing hub assembly, the whole unit needed replacement. It was a serious issue because these sensors are crucial for the ABS system, stability control, and overall vehicle safety. In my case, metal debris had damaged the sensor over time. After replacement, all systems worked perfectly again. Based on your symptoms, definitely get it checked soon, driving without proper ABS and traction control isn't safe. The voltage supply issue you mentioned could be the culprit, but from my experience, it's often the sensor itself or the hub assembly that's the problem.
