Removal

1.	Remove the rear wheel and tire. Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 107.9 N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0 kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 79.6 lb-ft)

2.	Remove the rear wheel speed sensor mounting bolt (A). Tightening torque: 6.9 ~ 10.8 N.m (0.7 ~ 1.1 kgf.m, 5.1 ~ 7.6 lb-ft)

3.	Remove the rear wheel guard.

4.	Disconnect the rear wheel speed sensor connector (A).

Installation is the reverse of removal.

Install the rear sensor after lubricating the O-ring of sensor with the assembly fluid(RAREMAX AF-1).

When inserting the sensor, take care the O-ring not to be damaged.

2WD only

1.	Remove the connector (A) after removing the front wheel speed sensor clip.

2.	Remove the rear wheel speed sensor.

3.	Installation is the reverse of removal.

Yaw-rate and G Sensor. Description and Operation

Description The yaw rate and G sensor is included inside the air bag control module (SRSCM). When the vehicle is turning with respect to a vertical axis the yaw rate sensor detects the yaw rate electroniclly ...

What is an ABS wheel speed sensor?

The wheel speed sensor is the primary data source for the ABS system. In order for the anti-lock brake (ABS) control module to react to driving conditions, wheel speed sensors (WSS) are placed on all four wheels, and constantly transmit the speed of each wheel to the ABS control module. They are mounted in the hub, close to the brake calipers, where they can monitor how fast the axle is turning.

How does the ABS wheel speed sensor work?

They are mounted in the hub, close to the brake calipers, where they can monitor how fast the axles are turning. All four WSS work in unison by providing four independent signals to the ABS control module, which allows the control module to correct for slipping if one or more wheels stop rotating. This action is responsible for highly reduced braking distances in slippery conditions.

In the event that a wheel speed sensor fails, the ABS, traction control system (TCS) and manufacturer specific stability control system lights will illuminate, informing the driver that the systems are disabled. The vehicle will be more prone to tire slip, and normal driving patterns may need to be adjusted to correct for the loss of computer control. On older vehicle's, the speedometer can be affected, causing illumination of the check engine light as well.

Can I drive with a ABS wheel speed sensor problem?

The vehicle can be driven with these warning lights on, since failure of the ABS or TCS does not disable the vehicle, but safety is a concern as drivers become accustomed to the road manners of their vehicle's. If hard braking that is normally controlled by the ABS control module is necessary, a collision may occur. We do recommend towing the vehicle to a repair facility if braking feels unusual under light or normal driving conditions.

How often do ABS wheel speed sensors need to be replaced?

Wheel speed sensors are notorious for failure, since they are housed on the wheel hub, near the road surface. This means the sensor and electrical connections are subject to dust, debris, precipitation, salt, and road hazards. Aside from that, brake dust and road grime are known to accumulate around the magnetic sensor, causing interference, and preventing proper readings. If the ABS and TCS lights are active, there is a very good chance you have a faulty wheel sensor, without regard to mileage.

Where is the speed sensor on a Hyundai Santa Fe?

Located on the transmission case, within the rear differential assembly or inside the ABS system, the vehicle speed sensor reads the speed of the wheel rotation on a vehicle while driving.

Can I drive with a broken wheel speed sensor?

However, when it comes to wheel speed sensors, a minor-seeming glitch may turn into a major safety risk. That is why in general, it is unsafe to drive a vehicle with a broken wheel speed sensor.

How much does it cost to replace a rear speed sensor?

The average cost for vehicle speed sensor replacement is between $280 and $325. Labor costs are estimated between $117 and $148 while parts are priced between $163 and $177. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your specific vehicle or unique location. Related repairs may also be needed.
