Rear Drive Shaft Removal/Installation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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).
- Drain the differential oil. (See DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENT .)
- Remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor from the torsion beam axle.
- Remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness from the bracket and set it aside.
- Remove in the order shown in the figure.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
- Add differential oil. (See DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENT .)
