| FAA_A1 | When the replacement drive axle was installed, the sensor ring, sensor, or sensor wiring on or near the axle was damaged, causing an erratic speed signal to the ABS module and setting the light on. |
| FAA_A10 | Never allow the CV Drive Axles to hang unsupported. This can lead to axle separation and damage to the inner joint. |
| FAA_A11 | The most likely cause is a broken bearing cage due to excessive torque load. This is typically an outboard joint problem. |
| FAA_A2 | The most likely cause is a defective or worn outer CV drive axle joint. It may be time to get it replaced. |
| FAA_A3 | The most likely cause is the drive train shifting in the chassis due to a broken engine mount or hardware, causing misalignment of the CV drive axle and causing the inner joint to bind or hang up. |
| FAA_A4 | The most likely problem is the outer CV drive axle boot has ruptured, causing the grease to leak out, allowing contamination (water and dirt) to enter and damage the joint. |
| FAA_A5 | The transaxle gear alignment has been lost. On some vehicles it will be necessary to disassemble the transaxle to properly align the output gears. ALWAYS remove and install one CV drive axle at a time. |
| FAA_A6 | NO! A prevailing torque lock nut should never be reused. Always discard the old nut and install a new one. |
| FAA_A7 | Always use the proper press type tool to remove the old stub shaft. NEVER strike the outer joint stub shaft with a hammer. It will damage the unit and possibly do damage to the hub bearing assembly. |
| FAA_A8 | Never use an impact wrench to install the retaining nut on the CV Drive Axle. Always use a torque wrench and torque the nut to manufacture's specifications. |
| FAA_A9 | When replacing CV Drive Axle assemblies, always install new transaxle seals to avoid leaking. |
