Inspect the front and rear pulsers for chipped or
damaged teeth.
Measure the air gap between the wheel sensor and
the pulser all the way around while rotating the
pulser. Remove the rear brake disc to measure the
gap on the rear wheel sensor. lf the gap exceeds
1.0 mm (0.04 in.), check for a bent suspension arm.
Standard:
Front; 0.4- 1.0 mm (0.02-0.04 in.)
Rear: 0.2 1.0 mm (0.01 0.04 in.l
