RF Wheel Speed Sensor Code - NOT BEARING! So every once in a while my 08 GXP would have the ABS/TRAC/STABIL off codes thrown in the car, I put my Solus scanner on it and it came back with a 'RF Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction' code.
So naturally I just replaced the hub assembly with and OEM replacement thinking it would solve the issue. Wrong! I cleared the the codes and when I went to back out of our shop it came back on. WFT? I cleared the codes again and went for a drive, it didn't come back on for quite some time, but eventually it did.
It is very intermitent, and usually happens when I just put the car in reverse and back up slowly. It doesn't happen when going forward or over hard bumps or anything.
I am thinking it may be the harness but those stupid things are 75 dollars my cost so I want to be sure before I put one in there.
Has anybody else dealt this issue? I am certain it is throwing the RF Wheel Speed Sensor code so that rules out all the other sensors that could disable ABS/TRAC/STABIL.
Thanks guys.

I don't know if this matters or not, but last night the ABS/TRAC/STABIL lights came on again, this time I was watching the DIC voltage and it was at 14.26 volts when it happened accelerating from a stop and turning slightly right.

been there, the dealer replaced one of my hub bearings and just went along and replaced all the speed sensors. the bearing would have gone out sometime anyway, replace the speed sensors and you will be perfectly fine

did you mean they replaced the sensor harness?
You need the right front wheel speed harness
Gm sell them te harness breaks down in the conduit where the harness flexes around he lower control arm area. Around 50 bucks takes less than a hour to install. Would recc you doing both side as the other side will shortly follow
