CAUTION: Proper installation of wheel speed sensor cables is critical to continued system operation. Be sure that cables are installed in retainers. Failure to install cables in retainers as shown may result in contact with moving parts and/or over extension of cables, resulting in an open circuit.

Connect the wheel speed sensor cable connector to the vehicle wiring harness.
Install the speed sensor cable assembly grommet into the front inner fender. Install speed sensor cable grommet and retainer bracket on the inner fender of the vehicle and install and securely tighten attaching bolt.
CAUTION: When installing the wheel speed sensor cable routing bracket on the strut, the speed sensor cable must be looped upward as shown (Figure ). If speed sensor cable is not routed in this direction it may rub, damaging the speed sensor cable.
Install the speed sensor cable routing bracket on the steering knuckle. Install and tighten routing bracket mounting bolt to a torque of 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.)
Apply a small amount of High Temperature Multipurpose grease to the sensor head before installation. Install speed sensor head on steering knuckle. Install the speed sensor head attaching screw and tighten to a torque of 7 N.m (60 in. lbs.).
Install the wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.
Lower the vehicle to the ground.
Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation of the base and ABS systems.
