CV Axle replacement

[tom4bren]

FYI, sharp cornering stresses the outter CVs while flexing the suspension stresses the inner CVs. So, it sounds like your trouble is in your outters. Not that it makes any difference since they both get replaced with the new axles.

& no, noisy CVs shouldn't cause a TOD check light. That is typically a bad sensor.

Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check all the sensors then when I get under there.

There's a way to get the computer to tell you which sensor is bad. I'll have to find the instructions - something about shorting 2 pins on the OBD II connector & counting the number of flashes of the TOD check light.

But go ahead and check all the connectors first & check all wiring near the exhaust for burns & shorts. Either of those can cause the computer to think you have a bad sensor.

The procedure is in this pdf file.

ok, I found code 31 is displaying. Which is shorted or disconnected coil wiring. Any idea where I should start looking for that?

IIRC someone posted that they had melted TOD wire insulation where it got too close to the exhaust. I'd start there.
