Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement - Front
Removal Procedure
Caution
Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned.
To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support
for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.
- Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
- Disconnect the wheel speed sensor electrical connector.
Notice
The outer drive axle joint has a speed sensor ring. Be careful not to damage
this ring when performing service operations near knuckle and drive axle. Never pry
against the speed sensor ring. Even minor scratching of speed sensor ring may result
in a loss of ABS operation.
- Remove the wheel speed sensor to steering knuckle TORX™ head
bolt.
Notice
Be careful not to enlarge the locating hole in knuckle when drilling out the
pin. Incorrect sensor location could occur and result in a loss of ABS operation.
Important
The front wheel speed sensor has a locating pin which may become stuck in the
knuckle due to corrosion. The pin may separate from the sensor during sensor removal
and remain in the knuckle. If this happens, and the pin cannot be pulled out, it
must be drilled out using an 8 mm drill bit.
- Remove the wheel speed sensor.
