Can you clean brake sensors?
With the sensor free, take your rag and wipe the sensor until it’s clean. I prefer not to use any chemicals on the sensor to avoid potential problems. If, however, the sensor is really grungy, use a mild soapy solution and rinse well. The ABS sensors are precision instruments in a crude environment.
How do you clean ABS sensor on car?
Remove the bolts that attach it to the rest of the suspension. You may also need to remove a few bolts that attach the wiring to the car’s frame or suspension, to pull the sensor away from the vehicle for cleaning. Follow the line and/or wiring harness to see if there are more bolts. Remember not to force it or pull too hard.
