Rear Wheel Speed Sensor: Installation
- If original sensor

- Insert sensor wire through support plate hole. Then seat sensor grommet in support plate.
- Apply Mopar Lock N' Seal or Loctite(R) 242 to original sensor bolt. Use new bolt if original is worn or damaged.

- If original
rear sensor was installed, adjust sensor air gap to 0.28-1.5 mm (0.011-0.059 in.). Use feeler gauge to measure air gap (Fig 1
). Tighten sensor bolt to 12-14 N.m (106-124 in. lbs.).

- If new
sensor was installed, push cardboard spacer on sensor face against tone ring (Fig 2
). Then tighten sensor bolt to 12-14 N.m (106-124 in. lbs.). Correct air gap will be established as tone ring rotates and peels spacer off sensor face.
