Solution

1. Preparation

3. Replace Wheel Speed Sensor

  • Locate the front left wheel speed sensor on the wheel hub.
  • Disconnect the sensor's electrical connector.
  • Remove the mounting bolt(s) securing the sensor to the hub (typically requires a socket or wrench).
  • Carefully extract the old sensor from its housing.
  • Install the new sensor by reversing the removal steps.
    • Sub-steps:
      • Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the sensor's threads (if applicable).
      • Tighten the mounting bolt(s) to the manufacturer's specified torque (refer to the service manual).
      • Reconnect the electrical connector ensuring it clicks into place.

4. Reassemble and Test

  • Reinstall the wheel and tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure.
  • Lower the vehicle back to the ground.
  • Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and use the OBD-II scanner to clear the C0030 code.
