Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement AWD

1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
3. Remove the brake caliper. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement in Disc Brakes.
4. Remove the hub and rotor (5). Refer to Brake Rotor Replacement in Disc Brakes.
5. Remove the wheel speed sensor mounting clips on the control arm and frame.
6. Remove the wheel speed sensor electrical connector.

NOTICE: Carefully remove the sensor by pulling it straight out of the bore. DO NOT use a screwdriver, or other device to pry the sensor out of the bore. Prying will cause the sensor body to break off in the bore.

Important: The wheel speed sensor mounts into a bore that leads to the center of the sealed bearing. Use caution when cleaning or working around the bore. Do not contaminate the lubricant inside the sealed bearing. Failure to do so can lead to premature bearing failure.

7. Remove the wheel speed sensor from hub and bearing assembly (4).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important: The new speed sensor will have a new O-ring. Dispose of the old O-ring. Lubricate the new O-ring lightly with bearing grease prior to installation. You may also lubricate the sensor just above and below the new O-ring. Do not lubricate the bore.




1. Install the sensor into the hub and bearing assembly (4).

Tighten
Tighten the sensor mounting bolts to 18 N·m (13 lb ft).

Important: The new sensor has new mounting clips already installed on the wire. Do not reuse the old clips.

2. Connect the sensor electrical connector.
3. Connect the sensor wire mounting clips to the control arm and the frame.
4. Install the hub and rotor (5). Refer to Brake Rotor Replacement in Disc Brakes.
5. Install the brake caliper. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement in Disc Brakes.
6. Install the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
