Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts before starting the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts during the repair.

2. Inspect and Clean Wheel Speed Sensors

• Tools Required: Socket set, cleaning brush, brake cleaner.
• Remove the wheel from the affected side (if necessary).
• Locate the wheel speed sensor; it is usually mounted near the brake rotor.
• Clean the sensor using brake cleaner and a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
• Reinstall the wheel and tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specified torque.

3. Check Wiring and Connectors

• Tools Required: Multimeter, electrical connector cleaner.
• Inspect the wiring harness for frays, breaks, or corrosion.
• Use a multimeter to test for continuity in the sensor wires.
• Clean electrical connectors with a connector cleaner to ensure a good connection.

4. Brake Fluid Level Check

• Tools Required: Brake fluid.
• Open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir.
• Check the fluid level; if it is low, top it off with the correct type of brake fluid as specified in the owner’s manual.

5. Test ABS Module

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner.
• Reconnect the battery.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any ABS-related fault codes.
• If codes are present, refer to the manufacturer's service manual for further troubleshooting.
