MEASURE RABS (VSS) SENSOR AIR GAP

1. Remove Rear Axle Differential Cover.
2. Measure the shortest distance from the RABS (VSS) sensor pole piece to the teeth on the reservoir bracket.
3. Rotate the axle 60°-90°.
4. Repeat the second and third steps for a total of five measurements.

Are all measurements between 0.005 inch and 0.045 inch and within 0.010 inch of each other?

If yes it should be OK.
If no replace the tone ring or the rear end housing.
