Hi Darrel,

Replacing the front speed sensor on this vehicle is integral to the hub assembly. Basically, you need to replace the hub assembly for the sensor to be replaced.

This one is a little more involved. The directions below show how it is done. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

Removal Procedure

Important: The front wheel speed sensors and rings are integral with the hub and bearing assemblies.

If a speed sensor or a ring needs replacement, replace the entire hub and bearing assembly. Do not service the harness pigtail individually because the harness pigtail is part of the sensor.

1. Raise and support the vehicle on a suitable hoist. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the front tire and wheel assembly.
3. Remove the front wheel speed sensor jumper harness electrical connector (1) from the front wheel speed sensor connector (3).

4. Remove the hub and bearing assembly (2).

Installation Procedure

2. Install the front wheel speed sensor jumper harness electrical connector (1) to front wheel speed sensor connector (3).
3. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position with the engine off.
6. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. See: A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) > Testing and Inspection
