Wheel Speed Sensor Inspection

NOTE: The outer board joint must be removed to inspect the magnetic encoder.
  1. Clean the magnetic encoder, and make sure no metal or other debris is stuck to the magnetic encoder surface.
  2. Check the magnetic encoder (A) for damage. If cracked or damaged, replace the encoder (wheel bearing).
