Front Wheel Sensor: Installation
- Install sensor bracket with sensor bracket post (if removed). Tighten post retaining bolt to 40-60 INCH lbs. (4.5-6.8 N.m) and splash shield attaching bolts to 10-15 ft. lbs. (13-20 N.m). Install hub and rotor assembly and caliper.
- If a sensor is to be reused, pole face must be clean from all foreign material. Carefully scrape pole face with a dull knife so sensor can slide freely on post. Glue a new front paper spacer on pole face (front paper spacer is marked with an "F").
- Install sensor through brake shield onto sensor bracket post. Be sure paper spacer on sensor is intact and does not come off during installation.
- Push sensor toward toothed sensor ring until new paper sensor contacts ring. Hold sensor against sensor ring and tighten 5mm set screw to 21-26 INCH lbs. (2.4-3 N.m). Insert sensor cable into bracket on shock strut, rail bracket, then through inner fender apron to engine compartment and seat the grommet.
- Lower vehicle and from inside engine compartment, connect sensor electrical connection. Check function of sensor by driving vehicle and observing "Check Anti-Lock Brakes" light.
