Rear Drive Shaft Removal/Installation: Notes

CAUTION:
  • Performing the following procedures could cause an open circuit in the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before servicing, disconnect the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor and set it aside so that the wiring harness will not be pulled by mistake.
  • Do not allow a magnetized tool such as a magnetized screwdriver to come into contact with the ABS sensor rotor. If the ABS sensor rotor becomes magnetized, it will be unable to read the ABS wheel-speed sensor waveform correctly resulting in an ABS system malfunction to be determined and the inability to perform ABS control. If a magnetized object comes into contact with the ABS sensor rotor, it will be necessary to newly replace the rear drive shaft (ABS sensor rotor).
  1. Drain the differential oil. (See DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENT .)
  2. Perform the following procedure for vehicles with the electric parking brake.
    1. Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
    2. Release the electric parking brake.
