The speed sensor is located behind the left rear wheel of the vehicle, so this is where you will perform the work. Start by lifting the vehicle with a jack and securely place axle stands.

Then, unscrew the locking pins of the wheel and remove it. Remove the brake caliper to access the sensor. This should be removed after unscrewing its locking pins and tested with a multimeter to ensure it needs replacing.

To finish the job, install the new sensor and reassemble everything previously removed.
