Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001691408
REMOVAL
Be careful of the following.
CAUTION:
 When removing the sensor, do not rotate it if possible, and not forcibly pull the sensor harness.
 Before removing front or rear wheel hub, remove wheel sensor to avoid sensor wiring damage.
INSTALLATION
Be certain to tighten bolts to the specified torque. Be careful of the following:
 Check the inside of the sensor mounting hole for foreign material, the rotor surface for iron chips and other
foreign material, and if anything is non-standard, clean it before installation, or replace it.
 When installing the front sensor, completely push in the strut bracket and body bracket rubber grommets
until they lock so that the sensor harness does not become twisted. In addition, there should be no twists in
the harness when installed. Install the harness so that the painted part faces the outside of the vehicle.
 When installing the rear sensor, completely push in the rubber bracket of the suspension arm bracket and
lock the marking area of the side member harness mount so that the sensor harness will not be twisted. In
addition, there should be no twists in the harness when installed.

< PRECAUTION >[ESP/TCS/ABS]
PRECAUTIONS
 If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, ESP OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the ESP system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (Shock Absorber, Strut, Spring, Bush, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (Pad, Rotor, Caliper, etc.), components related to engine (Muffler, ECM, etc.),
components related to body reinforcement (Roll bar, Tower bar, etc.).
 Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the ESP system may not
operate properly.
 When the TCS or ESP is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The noise
is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and ESP.
 When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the ESP may not operate normally, or ESP warning lamp and SLIP indicator
lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restarting
engine.
 Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When ESP function is OFF (ESP SW ON)
may cause the G -sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal opera-
tion can be resumed after restarting engine.
Diagnosis PrecautionINFOID:0000000001691414
CAN SYSTEM
 Do not apply voltage of 7.0 V or higher to terminal to be measured.
 Maximum open terminal voltage of tester in use shall be 7.0 V or lower.
 Before checking harnesses, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.
Precaution for Harness RepairINFOID:0000000001691415
CAN SYSTEM
 Area to be repaired shall be soldered, and wrapped with a tape [be
sure that fraying of twisted wire shall be within 110 mm (4.33 in)].
 Do not make a bypass connection to repaired area. (If it is done,
branch part will be removed and characteristics of twisted wire will
be lost.)
