- Inspect the back of the wheel bearing on the encoder surface for metal debris that could cause an erratic reading with the sensor.
- Do not use a magnet to clean debris, or damage to the encoder ring may occur.
- If two or more wheel speed sensors are inoperative diagnose each wheel speed sensor individually.
- If the customer comments that the ABS indicator is ON only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the wheel speed sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion.
- After repairs are made, and DTCs are cleared, operate the vehicle at speeds greater than 15 km/h (10 mph) to complete the brake self test, and the EBCM will turn off the ABS indicator.
