Wheel Speed Sensor Adjustment

1993 Eagle Talon DL, StandardSECTION Wheel Speed Sensor Adjustment
NOTE: On AWD, rear sensor-to-rotor gap is not adjustable.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel assembly. Inspect sensor pole piece for damage. If damaged, replace sensor as necessary. If sensor pole piece is okay, check wheel speed sensor-to-rotor gap. Using a feeler gauge, check clearance between speed sensor pole and rotor tooth surface. See Fig 1 .
  2. Clearance should be .012-.035" (.30-.90 mm). If clearance is not within specification, loosen sensor mounting bolt. Adjust sensor position until clearance is within specification. Tighten sensor mounting bolt. Install tire and wheel assembly. Lower vehicle.
