Clearance Inspection
1. Remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor.
2. Measure the distance between the ABS wheel-speed sensor installation surface and the ABS sensor rotor. This is dimension A.

3. Calculate the clearance between the front ABS wheel-speed sensor and the ABS sensor rotor using the following formula:
Clearance (mm {in}) = A-34.35 {1.352}
4. Verify that the clearance between the ABS sensor rotor and the ABS wheel-speed sensor is as indicated below.
If there is any malfunction, replace it.
0.3—1.4 mm {0.02—0.05 in}
