Check the front and rear pulser for chipped or dam-
aged teeth.
Measure the air gap between tho wheel sensor and
pulser sllthe way around while rotating the pulser.
Standard: 0.4 - 1.0 mm (0.02 - 0.04 in)
NOTE: lf the gap exceeds 1.0 mm (0.04 in), the
probability is a distorted suspension arm which
should be reDlaced.
