Steps
Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel
Park on level ground and loosen the lug nuts slightly. Raise the vehicle at an approved lift point, support it securely on jack stands, then remove the wheel to access the sensor and harness.
Remove the old sensor and harness
Remove the sensor mounting bolts and the harness bracket fasteners. Unplug the ABS harness in the engine bay, attach a pull string to its connector, and draw the harness out through its original route without damaging the grommets.
Route and secure the replacement harness
Use the pull string to guide the new harness through the same path from the wheel well to the engine bay. Connect the harness plug, then secure its brackets with the original fasteners and check that the wire is clear of the tire, suspension, and brake components.
Reinstall the wheel and check the ABS system
Mount the wheel and start the lug nuts by hand. Lower the vehicle and tighten the nuts in a star pattern to the vehicle's specification. Start the car and confirm the ABS warning is off; scan for codes if the warning remains.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
