If you have a abs light on consistantly and you check the code and it says front wheel sensor, it may not be damaged, but just need to be cleaned. So to check if yours in dirty follow this article and it may solve your problem.

Tools Required:
Rachet
10mm
Short Extention
Jack
Jack Stands
Wheel Lock
Rag or Paper Towels

1) First start by removing the front wheel for either passenger or driver side depending on which one you start with. Make sure to support your car on jack stands and not just the jack.

2) Next turn the steering wheel all the way in, opposite the side your working on. For example if your working on the passenger side, turn the wheel all the way towards the drivers side.

3) Locate the abs wheel sensor which is directly mounted onto the knuckle and then remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the abs sensor directly. Then along the line theres another two 10mm bolts, that need to be removed, just follow the abs sensor line to get at them. Three of the four bolts are pictured below.



Here's what I had to deal with.

Driver Side





Passenger Side





4) Now take your rag or paper towels and start wiping off all the dirt and/or grease.

After Cleaning







Follow steps 3 - 1 backwards for re-installation.


Good Luck

wildoutwhitegsr is the best person for writing up how-to posts

I enjoy reading all of them, keep up the good work

 

hey guys i have a 94 ls and I also have the abs light on. I now when i start my car up you can hear the abs under the hood make noise like its pumping up or something to that affect. After 30ish seconds everytime it quits that noise and posts a abs light. Is that noise normal and could doing this DIY maybe rectify this issue of that noise if its not normal

The abs is doing its own self check when it does this, the sensors are probably what is causing the ABS light to come on

I think cleaning them would be a good idea anyways, im about to clean mine when the rain stops

 

thanks for the input much appreciated!

 

Awesome man! I'm gonna try to do this tomorrow . . .

 

wow..i never heard about this.. this should be on sticky

 

is it the same for the rear?

 

nice post, have the same problem right now with my front right sensor. im gonna def try this tomorow

 

Hey,

I think this will really be helpful to me as I am seeing the ABS light ON my instrument panel. However, I am not able to see the pics attached. Could you send me the pics.

Thanks in advance.
