The ABS control unit speed sensor is located at the wheel, right behind the hub, and is secured with a 5 mm Allen bolt. To replace it, lift the vehicle with a jack, remove the front wheel, and access the sensor's mounting bolt.

Once the bolt is removed, pull the sensor from its housing and free the wiring from the grommet where a connector is located, along with the brake wear sensor connector; then disconnect this connector and attach the new sensor, properly positioning the wires and securing the sensor by tightening the corresponding bolt.
