    When I got this car I chased all kinds of ABS issues and finally got it all fixed. (New LF hub, and new RF harness)

    One was a bad wheel speed sensor in the left front. About 1000 miles later I'm getting a C1225 LF wheel speed excessive variation.

    Sounds like my new hub is a piece of crap, or try the wiring harness first? FWIW, it acts up most at low speeds and when turning.

    I seem to recall every other time it was the harness, it caused a open or shorted sensor code.

    its likely a wire broken/intermittent inside the sheath.....it might eventually get bad enough to trigger an open circuit code.... id start there

    if you put a junk generic hub in then it is possible it is the hub already.

    Turns out it was the wire. At least both sides are new now. I suspected the hub since it had crappy reviews, but it was the only thing available at the time.

    So you replaced both sides? Spliced wire?
