Video tutorial

The ABS sensor located behind the wheel hub detects the wheel speed and transmits it to the braking system control unit to manage controlled braking and prevent wheel lock-up. To remove this sensor, lift the vehicle on suitable car stands and remove the front wheel; then access the engine bay to locate the sensor connector attached to the shock absorber mount and disconnect it; free the grommet and detach all cable clips on the wheel arch and shock absorber; once the cable is free, unscrew the sensor mounting bolt and extract it from its housing.
