Well it's been three days since my TB tried to start itself with no more incidents. I'm going to call it fixed. I'll name the cause as self induced by not paying attention to the direction of the tabs on the ring terminals when removing the wires. Actually didn't know they were there. Starter...

Thanks for the replies. I don't remember what brand hub I put on but I'll check into it. I kind of lean towards wiring at this point because of the steer position sensor. Scanner said it was bad so I replaced it. That was the only code at the time. Then as soon as that was replaced it started...

Thanks. Not having a garage to work on it I'll have to wait for a little bit warmer weather to trace the wiring. I'm past intermittent. I have the fuse pulled for the ABS system so I don't lose power pulling into traffic. I could see that being dangerous for an impatient driver. The pulsing...

2004 TB started with traction control and ABS error lights coming on and the ABS cycling when nearly stopped on dry roads and loss off power when pulling out due to traction control. Bought a scanner and checked the errors. The scanner said the steer position sensor was bad so it was replaced...

Would've never thought of the clock spring. Thanks.

Why does steering wheel need to be fastened in place during replacement? Are there tabs or other mechanisms that allow it to be installed in one position only and to make it easier to line them up you keep the wheel from moving OR does the computer need to know its calibrated in a precise...

It ties into the ABS system somehow also. I think when the ABS is active through a turn it wants to know the steer angle so it can brake the wheels correctly. Don't quote me on that though. Thanks for the replies! I read elsewhere for other vehicles the steer sensors have to be recalibrated...

Can anyone tell me if the Steer sensor has to be recalibrated after an alignment? Before I go and purchase a new sensor I want to make sure the fault isn't being caused by the sensor not being calibrated? Also if anyone has experience replacing or cleaning the sensor I'd be very interested in...

Swapped 1 & 2 coil packs. Reset faults. Random misfire fault returned. Turns out the intake bolts were loose. #3 had quite a bit of water in it. More than the others. Blew out all and tightened down bolts. Running like a champ again. Thanks to all. Although this thread didn't have the time and...

Just searched the site which I should have done before posting...sorry. Water running in from under hood seal obviously. I'll pull all the packs and dry them out. No direct spray under hood at car wash. Waiting for my kid to get home with scanner to reset the code and see if miss moved to...

Hey all, Engine light came on today and the engine started missing. Had code read and it was #1 misfiring along with cam position sensor and random misfires. Tb would still run but definitely felt the miss when asked for power. Removed #1 coil pack to swap with #2 and noticed water...

Just thought I'd drop a quick post concerning the replacement of the Power Steering cooler on an '06 TB. Very easy job. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Remove the grill and bumper cover. Some say to remove the bumper also but it wasn't necessary. The old cooler can easily be removed and new...

Xfer case fluid replaced. Thanks

Thanks
