DSC SPEED SENSOR

Who knows where the DSC speed sensor is. Looked under the front right wheel where I seems to be from the drawing but cant find it.

DSC works off of all four wheels. It is the speed sensor in each wheel you need to look at. If you get it scanned make sure you juack up the car and spin each wheel. You'll quickly find the dead sensor.

the speed sensor is in the hub, not the wheel.

No just take off the wheel, it is behind the backing plate in the "hub"

There is a bolt there, #5 hex I think. Then you have to pry up on it but be carefull they break quite easy. If you do break it, you can chip it out but it will take a while and watch hen you get to the hub, you don't want to ding it up or it will give you false readings.

You can get it scanned at the dealer or a mechanic with a scanner.

If your not handy at mechanical stuff, I would let the mechanic do it.
