Front Wheel Speed Sensor - Installation

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Failure to install speed sensor cables properly may result in contact with moving parts or an over extension of cables causing an open circuit. Be sure that cables are installed, routed, and clipped properly.





1. Place the routing bracket of the wheel speed sensor (1) against the mounting flange (rearward ear) on the rear of the strut (6). Install and tighten the mounting screw (5) to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).
2. Place the heat shield (2) on the wheel speed sensor (1) head.
3. Install the wheel speed sensor (1) head with heat shield (2) on the knuckle (4). Install and tighten the mounting screw (5) to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).




4. From the sensor bracket on the strut, loop the harness end of the sensor cable (3) upward, then downward at the outside of the frame rail (6). Install the speed sensor cable grommet into the retainer on the brake hose bracket (2) on the frame rail.




5. Right side sensor - Route the wheel speed sensor cable around the bottom of the frame rail and connect it to the wiring harness connector (1) on the inside of the frame rail. Remember to push in the locking tab on the connector.




6. Left side sensor - Route the wheel speed sensor cable (5) around the bottom of the frame rail and connect it to the wiring harness connector on the inside of the frame rail (3). Remember to push in the locking tab on the connector. Attach the speed sensor cable routing clips (4) to the brake tube (2) on the inside of and under the frame rail.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Perform the Diagnostic Verification Test and clear any faults. Verification Tests
