Description

THE MISADJUSTMENT OF A MACHINE TOOL ALLOWED METAL PARTICLES TO REMAIN IN THE REAR AXLE ABS SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING HOLE. THE PARTICLES CAN COME LOOSE, ATTACH TO THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, AND FALSELY INDICATE A WHEEL-LOCK CONDITION TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT. THIS FALSE SIGNAL CAN CAUSE PREMATURE ABS FUNCTION AT THE REAR BRAKES WHICH COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES.
