Default 2011 Accord replaced passenger side wheel bearing

I now have the abs & traction control lights on after replacing the right front wheel bearing, any advise on what the issue could be?

Did you use an OEM or aftermarket part?

The magnetic encoder ring is incorporated as part of the wheel bearing. The encoder (brown color) has to be installed toward the inside of the knuckle.

Get the trouble code(s) read and post the actual code number(s). Many auto parts store will read the codes for free. It has to be a OBD reader/scanner capable of reading Honda ABS trouble codes. It will probably have to do with the wheel bearing encoder or the speed sensor.

We used an after market part. Thanks for the information, we’ll see if we can get the code.

It's actually possible to install the bearing backwards, which wouldn't allow abs to work which cause this code. The magnetic side of the bearing must be installed towards the inside.

Thanks! I’m assuming the only way to fix that is to take it back out and wreak the bearing if that’s the case?

yes, any time you remove a bearing it will be damaged

just use a paperclip or something magnetic to test which side is magnetic or normally it will be the brown side or it will have something plastic covering it when you take it out of the package to protect it from damage
