  Q: How to replace the front wheel speed sensor on Cadillac Catera?

  A:

  Begin by lifting the vehicle before supporting it. Start by removing the bolt/screw from the Steering Knuckle before extracting the Wheel Speed Sensor from the Steering Knuckle. Separate the Wheel Speed Sensor cable using its clips on both the spring strut and the wheel housing. Next disconnect its connector from the wiring harness and pull the sensor away from the vehicle. Inspect the sensor face for metallic particles, dirt, grease, and other contaminants, cleaning as necessary, and check for any damage or contact with the toothed sensor ring; replace the sensor because operational problems emerge from damage throughout the process. During installation push the Wheel Speed Sensor into place by hand without applying excessive force while applying anti-corrosion protection with silicone grease p/n 12345579 or an equivalent product. Connect the wheel speed connector to the wiring harness connector while placing the cable in its clips before mounting the Wheel Speed Sensor into the Steering Knuckle. Affix speed sensor bolt/screw and tighten it to 8nm (71 inch lbs.). Open the diagnostic tester and ensure the Wheel Speed Sensor harness lies beyond the Wheel Speed Sensor range to prevent rubbing against any moving components or wire extension before lowering the vehicle and conducting the abs system check.

  Q: How to replace the rear wheel speed sensor on Cadillac Catera?

  A:

  You must lift the vehicle off the ground to start replacing the rear wheel speed sensor. Lift the vehicle and unscrew the bolt from the differential housing before pulling out the wheel speed sensor from its location. Remove the wheel speed connector from the vehicle under-body to separate at first its electrical contact with the wiring harness. Seize the connector from its hull and extract the wheel speed sensor. Review the sensor surface for metal parts and debris while cleaning it. Replace the sensor when it shows damage or impairs its connection with the toothed sensor ring. Check the axle bearing for signs of excessive damage. Use hand pressure to insert the wheel speed sensor into the differential housing until it settles and apply anti-corrosion protection using silicone grease P/N 12345579 or comparable product. Plug the wheel speed connector to its matching end on the wiring harness and fasten the wire bundle into the vehicle under-body clip. Insert the speed sensor bolt and fasten it to 8 Nm force before lowering the vehicle to run an ABS diagnostic test.
