Removal
Pull the wiring harness connector off.
Remove the RABS sensor hold-down bolt and remove the RABS sensor from the rear axle housing (4010).
Installation
Clean the axle mounting surface. Use care to prevent dirt from entering the rear axle housing.
Inspect and clean the magnetized RABS sensor pole piece to make sure that it is free from loose metal particles which could cause erratic system operation. Inspect the RABS sensor O-ring for damage and replace if necessary.
NOTE: Do not apply force to the plastic RABS sensor connector. The RABS sensor flange should slide to the mounting surface. The air gap setting is between 0.127-1.14mm (0.005-0.045 inch).
Lightly lubricate the RABS sensor O-ring with motor oil, align the RABS sensor bolt hole, and install.
Install the RABS sensor hold-down bolt and tighten to 34-41 Nm (25-30 lb-ft).
Inspect the blue RABS sensor connector seal and replace if missing or damaged. Push the connector on the RABS sensor.
