Steps
Remove the old sensor
Switch the ignition off and unplug the sensor harness. Remove its retaining bolt, then gently work the sensor out of the differential housing without levering against the sealing surface.
Install the replacement
Clean the sensor opening and seat the replacement squarely in the housing. Tighten its retaining bolt to specification and reconnect the electrical harness.
Verify the repair
Route the wire through its original clips, clear of the driveshaft and exhaust. Start the vehicle and check whether the ABS warning light clears; scan for codes if it remains on.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
