CAUTION: Failure to install speed sensor cables properly may result in contact with moving parts or an over extension of cables causing an open circuit. Be sure that cables are installed, routed, and clipped properly.

Attach the wheel speed sensor to the strut using its mounting screw. (Figure ).
Install the wheel speed sensor head in the steering knuckle. (Figure ). Install the mounting bolt. Tighten the mounting bolt to 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.).
From the sensor bracket on the strut, loop the sensor cable upward, then downward at the outside of the frame rail. Install the speed sensor cable grommet onto the retaining bracket attached to the brake hose on the outside of the frame rail.
Loop the wheel speed sensor cable around the bottom of the frame rail and connect it to the wiring harness connector on the inside of the frame rail. (Figure ). Remember to push in the locking tab on the connector.
If the sensor being installed is the left front, clip the speed sensor cable to the brake tube on the inside of and under the frame rail. (Figure ).
Lower the vehicle.
Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation of the base brakes and ABS.
