• Q: How to replace the front speed sensor on 2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: The procedure for changing the front speed sensor starts by uninstalling the front wheel and then unconnecting the front speed sensor connector. You should first tap out both pins of the front speed sensor and front axle hub using a pin punch and hammer from Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 to detach the 2 attachments. Place the rear hub assembly on a soft jaw vise yet replace modified parts which receive forceful shocks or result from drops. The process requires Special Service Tool: 09520-00031 (09520-00040, 09521-00020), 09950-00020 as well as two bolts (Diameter: 12 mm, Pitch: 1.5 mm) to detach the speed sensor precisely while avoiding any scratches on the speed sensor surface or axle hub surface. Damage to the sensor rotor requires a replacement of the entire axle hub assembly. The installation process begins with cleaner surfaces of the axle hub and speed sensor before placing the sensor downward on the axle hub while using Special Service Tool: 09527-10011, 09710-04101, 09950-60020 (09951-00680) and a press for insertion and careful prevention of hammer contact on the sensor and foreign object inspection of the detection area. Install the front wheel using a torque value of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) when connecting both the speed sensor connector and performing signal checks of the sensor. The first step for the LH side is to disconnect the sensor connector from the speed sensor and remove the fender liner together with the clamp bolt and speed sensor sub-wire connector. Finally remove the two clamp bolts with their matching speed sensor sub-wire. Begin by installing two new speed sensor wire clamps which require bolts torqued at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in. lbs.). Subsequently attach the front speed sensor connector and reinstall the fender liner along with reconnecting the sensor to the speed sensor before performing the speed sensor signal test. For the RH side, repeat the same process of disconnecting the sensor connector, removing the fender liner, disconnecting the speed sensor sub-wire connector, and removing the 2 clamp bolts and speed sensor sub-wire, then install the new speed sensor wire clamps with bolts torqued to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.), connect the front speed sensor connector to the sub-wire connector, reinstall the fender liner, and connect the sensor connector to the speed sensor, concluding with a check of the speed sensor signal.
