Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely elevated using jack stands.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Clean the Wheel Speed Sensor

• Tools Required: Ratchet and socket set, cleaning brush, and brake cleaner.
• Remove the wheel on the left front side using a ratchet and socket.
• Locate the wheel speed sensor and remove it from its mounting bracket.
• Clean any dirt or debris from the sensor and its mounting location using brake cleaner and a cleaning brush.

3. Replace the Wheel Speed Sensor (if needed)

• Tools Required: Ratchet and socket set, wire connectors (if splicing is necessary).
• If the sensor is faulty, remove it by unscrewing the mounting bolts.
• Install the new wheel speed sensor in the same position, ensuring it is secured.
• If wiring was damaged, splice in new wire connectors and ensure solid connections.

4. Reassemble and Reconnect

• Reattach the wheel speed sensor connector, ensuring it clicks into place.
