ISSUE
When servicing the wheel speed sensors on a 2001-2005 Escape or 2005 Mariner and Escape Hybrid, care must be taken during removal to prevent
damage. The wheel speed sensor wire has a body plug attached to it. This plug can be damaged if not removed correctly, such as removal for pinpoint
testing. If the body plug is damaged, sensor replacement may be necessary even though the sensor is functional in all other respects.
ACTION
When removing the body plug, rotate the plug into a position which allows the use of a small screwdriver to release the tabs on the underside of the body
plug. These two tabs are at right angles (directly above and below) to the sensor wire. See Figures 1 and 2 for reference.
