• When installing front wheel senso
r, press rubber grommets of strut bracket and body all the way in
until they get locked, and be careful not to apply a twist to harness. Harness should not be twisted
after installation. (Install it with harness paint mark on body side grommet facing front of vehicle,
and the strut side grommet facing outside of vehicle.)
REAR WHEEL SENSOR
Removal
CAUTION:
• As much as possible, avoid rotating wheel sensor when removing it . Pull wheel sensors out without
pulling on sensor harness.
• Take care to avoid damaging wheel sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to wheel sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
1. Disconnect the rear wheel sensor connector.
2. Remove the rear wheel sensor.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron chips on and in the mounting
hole of the wheel sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove
any foreign material and clean the mount.
• When installing rear wheel sensor, press rubber grommets of suspension arm bracket and harness
of side member all the way in until they get locked , and be careful not to apply a twist to harness.
Harness should not be twisted af ter installation. (Aim the paint mark upward of vehicle.)
