2006 GT ABS and Traction control light

[Kenriz08]

Recently I’ve had ABS and TRACTION control light come on the dash, I’ve had scanned and it resulted to be a faulty wheel speed sensor on the right front wheel, changed said sensor and didn’t fix the problem, the car would not like any hard pulls no matter what speed or if I’m losing traction or not it still bogs down, checked the wheel bearing and it had a small damage on 2 teeth , what would be my best , replace this wheel bearing and see if it fixes the problem ?

The sensor references the bearing which has the teeth built into it. Just replace the hub.

Wheel bearings would be inside the axle tube. You're looking at the reluctor ring (tone ring, timing ring, there are words). The wheel speed sensor (mounted in the brake caliper bracket) uses a hall sensor and sits just above the ring to get a signal. Replacing that is a little more difficult than replacing a wheel bearing, as you'll need a press. Can get a new ring and take it to a shop, though. (Easier still, if you can stomach it, is to take it to a dealership and let them take care of the whole process.)

Damaging the ring can cause TCS issues for sure, but you should also look at the sensors themselves. If they're loose or backed out, they'll get a bad reading, and the wires can get damaged. If you've had them disconnected, check they're clean and reconnected correctly.

Goes without saying, but check your tires, too. Too little tread or (very) bad tire pressures can cause TCS issues, too.
