Care:
ABS sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, it is advisable to keep the sensor and its wiring clean and free from excessive dirt, debris, or corrosive substances. Periodically inspect the wiring for any signs of damage. Ensure the sensor mounting area remains free of rust and corrosion which could affect its seating and performance.
