After the Line 5 data is obtained, unplug the EBCM connector and both left and right front wheel speed sensor connectors. While unplugged, replace the hub/bearing wheel speed sensor assembly with current SPO stock. Only replace the hub/bearing wheel speed sensor assembly as indicated in the chart below. Once replaced, reconnect all connections.

Leave disconnected for 3 minutes then reconnect all 3 connections. If the vehicle is a repeat concern and is built after September 9th 2005, Use Line 5 data and the chart below to assist with which wheels speed senor to replace. Unplug the EBCM connector and both left and right front wheel speed sensor connectors. While unplugged, replace the hub/bearing wheel speed sensor assembly with current SPO stock.

Obtaining Line 5 Data:

Using the tech 2, please check the module information prior to replacing any parts. To get the module information within the Tech 2, go under chassis, then select ABS. Once ABS is chosen, choose F4 "Module Information". Scroll down to Event History Cal Data 1-5. Review "Event History Cal Data 5" ONLY. Perform the appropriate action for each digit listed. A vehicle that has no problems will display "00000000" (8 zeros). A vehicle with a concern can have any digit between 0 and 7 displayed. Associate the digit(s) from "Event History Cal Data 5" with the chart below.

Example

"Event History Cal Data 5" reads 00200001. Digit "1" and a digit "2" are both displayed after the Cal Data 5. The correct action would be to replace the FR hub and bearing for digit 1 and FL hub and bearing for digit 2 based on the chart below.
