Special tools: J-42942

W5000941

Slide the notched end of the sensor

adjustment tool J-42942 through the

opening in the brake spider until it

rests against the sensor (the tool will

go in the hole at a slight angle).

Note: It is not necessary to remove

the wheel or drum to adjust sensors

using the adjustment tool.

CAUTION

Potential sensor damage. DO NOT use a screwdriver

or sharp instrument to adjust sensor. Use of sharp in-

strument could permanently damage sensor.

CAUTION

Potential sensor damage. DO NOT use a hammer to

drive the sensor into position. Hammering the sensor

could cause the sensor to be inoperative.

Press the sensor toward the wheel

hub until the sensor contacts the tooth

wheel.

Remove the sensor adjustment tool.

Verify proper sensor adjustment by

driving the vehicle. This allows the

ABS to perform an additional self test

(see “ABS Self Tests” page 22). Once

the vehicle reaches approximately 11

km/h (7 mph), the ABS warning lamp

will go out if the sensor is properly ad-

justed.
