How to Replace Front ABS Sensor 07-13 Nissan Rogue

Difficulty: Intermediate · About 45 min · Nissan Rogue

Replace a front wheel speed sensor on a 2007–2013 Nissan Rogue and route its harness through the original retainers.

Steps

1. Lift and remove the wheel

   Loosen the wheel nuts slightly on the ground, chock the opposite wheels, raise the vehicle at the approved point, and support it securely. Remove the wheel to expose the sensor and harness.

2. Remove the old sensor

   Remove the sensor bracket bolt and gently work the sensor from the hub without prying against the tone ring. Release the harness from its clips, peel back the liner as needed, and unplug the connector without pulling on the wires.

3. Install and route the replacement

   Connect the new sensor, seat it fully in the hub, and secure its bracket. Route the wire through every original clip and away from the tire, axle, and brake parts, then restore the liner and its retainers.

4. Reinstall the wheel and check the warning lamp

   Refit the wheel and hand-start its nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the nuts in a crossing pattern to the vehicle specification. Verify the harness remains clear through steering movement and confirm the ABS warning lamp status; scan for codes if it remains on.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
