How to check wheel speed sensor wiring harness

Run a fingernail along the wiring harness from the wheel speed sensor back to the EBCM or nearest connector. If your fingernail reaches a shallow point, suspect a broken wire. Also, open the electrical connector to check for water intrusion.

The problem can occur most often where the wiring harness passes between the steering knuckle and the axle shaft.

If you detect a broken wire, it’s best to replace the harness rather than attempt a repair. However, if you have to do a repair, SOLDER the connection and protect with heat shrinkable tubing.
