***How-To*** Check & Clean Your Front ABS Wheel Sensor
If you have an abs light on consistently and you check the code and it says front wheel sensor, it may not be damaged, but just need to be cleaned. So to check if yours in dirty follow this article and it may solve your problem.
Tools Required:
Ratchet
10mm
Short Extension
Jack
Jack Stands
Wheel Lock
Rag or Paper Towels
1) First start by removing the front wheel for either passenger or driver side depending on which one you start with. Make sure to support your car on jack stands and not just the jack.
2) Next turn the steering wheel all the way in, opposite the side your working on. For example if you’re working on the passenger side, turn the wheel all the way towards the driver’s side.
3) Locate the abs wheel sensor which is directly mounted onto the knuckle and then remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the abs sensor directly. Then along the line there’s another two 10mm bolts, which need to be removed, just follow the abs sensor line to get at them. Three of the four bolts are pictured below.
Here's what I had to deal with.
Driver Side
Passenger Side
4) Now take your rag or paper towels and start wiping off all the dirt and/or grease.
After Cleaning
Follow steps 3 - 1 backwards for re-installation.
Good Luck
