Hi guys

Wondering if anyone could spill some beans on removing this sensor without breaking something, as we're not sure and I have to have this part out tonight! I wish I could be more descriptive but it's not me doing the removal, and I have no idea what it looks like!

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hi.

Jack vehicle and secure

Remove wheel

Tools:

pliers

screwdriver set

10-12mm spanners, sockets etc

Follow the tube that contains the wiring that goes to the wheel speed sensor.

Assembly is about 600mm long

Undo the 3 brackets that attatch to the hub etc.

Connector is in the engine bay near the grommet it comes through.

There is one bolt that holds the sensor in the hub assy. Lever out gently using flat blade if needed.

Sensor has/had white sealant on it to prevent corrosion and you will also see an o-ring.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanking YOU sir.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
