Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and turn off the ignition.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for safety.

2. Inspect and Replace Wheel Speed Sensor

1. Raise the Vehicle:

   • Use a jack to lift the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on which wheel speed sensor is faulty.
   • Secure with jack stands.

2. Remove Wheel:

   • Use a lug wrench to remove the wheel where the faulty sensor is located.

3. Access and Remove Sensor:

   • Locate the wheel speed sensor, typically mounted near the brake rotor.
   • Unplug the electrical connector from the sensor.
   • Remove the mounting bolt(s) holding the sensor in place using a socket set.

4. Install New Sensor:

   • Position the new wheel speed sensor in the mounting location.
   • Secure it with the bolt(s) and torque to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 7-10 Nm, but check the service manual).
   • Reconnect the electrical connector.

3. Check Wiring and Connectors

1. Inspect Wiring:

   • Examine the wiring harness for frayed or damaged wires.
   • Repair any damaged wiring with solder and heat-shrink tubing or replace the harness if necessary.

2. Reconnect Battery:

   • Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

4. Clear Error Codes

• Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the C0020 error code and any related codes.

5. Test Drive

• Conduct a short test drive to ensure the ABS and traction control systems are functioning properly and no new error codes appear.
