If there is any malfunction, replace the applicable part.
a. Excessive play of the ABS wheel-speed sensor
b. Deformation of the ABS wheel-speed sensor
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:
