Installation Visual Inspection
1. Inspect for the following:
If there is any malfunction, replace the part.
a. Excessive looseness or play of the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor
b. Deformation of the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor
c. Deformation or damage of the rear ABS sensor rotor
Clearance Inspection
1. Remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor.
2. Measure the distance between the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor installation surface and the rear ABS sensor rotor. This is dimension A.

3. Calculate the clearance between the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor and the rear ABS sensor rotor using the following formula:
Clearance (mm {in}) = A –13.9 {0.547}
4. Verify that the clearance between the rear ABS sensor rotor and the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor is as indicated below.
If there is any malfunction, replace it.
1.46 mm {0.057 in} or less
Sensor Output Value Inspection
CAUTION:
Resistance inspection using other testers may cause damage to the ABS wheel-speed sensor internal circuit. Be sure to use the M-MDS to inspect the ABS wheel-speed sensor.
1. Switch the ignition to off.
2. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

3. Select the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
WSPD_LR
(LR wheel-speed sensor)
WSPD_RR
(RR wheel-speed sensor)
4. Start the engine and drive the vehicle.
5. Verify that the display of the M-MDS shows the same value as the speedometer.
If there is any malfunction, replace the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor.
