How to Remove the ABS Sensor on a 1995 Chevy Camaro

The ABS sensor on the 1995 Chevy Camaro measures the speed of each wheel. This allows the ABS braking system to apply the proper amount of braking force to each wheel. As you drive your Camaro and press the brake pedal, the ABS sensor sends the wheel speeds to the ABS braking system. The ABS system then applies the proper amount of braking force to each wheel rotor. This prevents the brakes from locking up, bringing the Camaro to a safe stop. Replacing a wheel's ABS sensor should take about an hour.

Instructions

1

Park the 1995 Chevy Camaro on level ground and engage the emergency brake.

2

Move to the wheel that needs the ABS sensor replaced. Loosen the lug nuts from the wheel with a tire tool. Position the jack under the Camaro and jack it up high enough to fit the jack stand under the jacking points. Lower the Camaro onto the stand and leave the jack in place.

3

Remove all of the lug nuts from the wheel with the tire tool. Pull the wheel off the hub and place it aside.

4

Locate the ABS sensor on the back side of the wheel hub assembly. The end of the sensor is pointing toward the rear brake rotor. Unplug the electrical connector from the ABS sensor. Note how far the end of the sensor is from the back side of the brake rotor.

5

Unscrew the single mounting bolt that is holding the ABS sensor in place with a ratchet and a socket. Pull the sensor out of the back side of the wheel hub assembly. Wipe off any dirt or grease from around the ABS sensor hole.

6

Insert the new sensor through the back of the wheel hub assembly until the end of the ABS sensor is the same distance from the back side of the brake rotor as the old sensor. Wipe off any dirt or grease from the end of the ABS sensor.

7

Screw the single mounting bolt back into the ABS sensor mount. Tighten the bolt with the ratchet and socket. Plug the electrical connector back into the ABS sensor plug.

8

Slide the wheel back onto the wheel hub and screw the lug nuts back onto the lugs. Jack the 1995 Chevy Camaro back up and remove the jack stand. Pull the jack out from under the Camaro. Finish tightening all of the lug nuts with the tire tool.
