Note: The front wheel speed sensor rotor is integrated with the front wheel drive shaft and is non-separable.

Removing the front wheel speed sensor and rear wheel speed sensor

Caution: Be careful when handling the pole piece of the wheel speed sensor and the toothed surface of the rotor so as not to damage them against other parts.

Installing the Front Wheel Speed Sensor and Rear Wheel Speed Sensor

The distance between the speed sensor and the toothed surface of the ABS rotor is not adjustable, but measure the distance between the sensor installation surface and the toothed surface of the rotor.

Nominal size: 28.2–28.5 mm

Checking the wheel speed sensor

Check for any metal particles on the surface of the pole piece and remove them if present.

Also check for damage to the pole piece; if any are found, replace the sensor.

Note: Since the speed sensor has a magnet inside, the pole piece is magnetized, making it easy to attract foreign metal materials. In addition, if the pole piece is damaged, the sensor will not be able to detect the wheel speed correctly.

Measure the resistance between the terminals of the wheel speed sensor.

Nominal value: 1.0–1.5 kOhm.

If the internal resistance of the speed sensor does not correspond to the nominal value, replace it with a new one.

Check for damage, breaks or poor contact in the sensor wires; if any are found, replace the wire with a new one.

Note: To check for damage to the sensor wire, remove the wire retaining clip from the vehicle body, then bend and pull the wire to check for temporary contact breakage.
