Wheel Speed Sensor: Service and Repair

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Installation Service Point
>A< Front Wheel Speed Sensor/rear Wheel Speed Sensor Installation





The clearance between the wheel speed sensor and the ABS rotor's toothed surface is not adjustable, but measure the distance between the sensor installation surface and the ABS rotor's toothed surface.
Standard value: 28.2-28.5 mm (1.11-1.12 inch)

INSPECTION
Wheel Speed Sensor Check





1. Check whether any metallic foreign material has adhered to the parts shown in the illustration at the wheel speed sensor tip, and it so, remove it.

NOTE: The section shown in the illustration can become magnetized because of the magnet built into the wheel speed sensor, with the result that foreign metallic material is attached to it.





2. Measure the resistance between the wheel speed sensor terminals.
Standard value: 1.0-1.5 k ohms
If the internal resistance of the wheel speed sensor is not within the standard value, replace with a new wheel speed sensor.
3. Check the wheel speed sensor cable for breakage, damage or disconnection; replace with a new one if a problem is found.

NOTE: When checking for cable damage, remove the cable clamp part from the body and then bend and pull the cable near the clamp to check whether or not an intermittent contact results. Check the connector connection and the terminal insertion.

Wheel Speed Sensor Insulation Check





1. Remove all connections from the wheel speed sensor, and then measure the resistance between terminals (1) and (2) and the body of the wheel speed sensor.
Standard value: 100 k ohms or more
2. If the wheel speed sensor insulation resistance is outside the standard value range, replace with a new wheel speed sensor.

Toothed ABS Rotor Check





Check whether the ABS rotor teeth are broken or deformed. Replace the ABS rotor if the teeth are damaged or deformed.
