  Q: How do you remove and install the front and rear sensors on Cadillac ElDorado?

  A: To remove and install the front sensor on 1990 vehicles, disconnect the negative battery cable, detach the sensor connector, and raise the vehicle to remove the wheel and tire assembly. For Eldorado and Seville, disengage the sensor cable grommet from the wheel well, remove the sensor cable from brackets, and take out the sensor mounting bolt to remove the sensor. Inspect the sensor face for contaminants and clean as necessary. For installation, coat the sensor with anti-corrosion compound where it contacts the knuckle, install the sensor with the mounting bolt, and secure the cable in retainers, ensuring it is clear of moving parts. Connect the sensor to the wiring harness, reinstall the wheel and tire assembly, and reconnect the negative battery cable. For 1991 Deville and Fleetwood, follow similar steps, ensuring to cut the strap retaining the sensor cable and tighten the mounting bolt to specified torque. For 1992-93 Deville and Fleetwood, disconnect the negative battery cable, detach the sensor connector, and remove the hub and bearing assembly, cleaning the sensor housing area. Pry the slinger from the speed sensor assembly and carefully remove the speed sensor, inspecting for rust or water intrusion. Apply sealant to the bearing hub, install the sensor using a press, and connect the wiring. For 1991 Eldorado and Seville, follow similar removal and installation steps, ensuring to coat the sensor with anti-corrosion compound and secure the cable. For 1992-98 Eldorado and Seville and 1994-98 Deville, the front wheel speed sensors are integrated with the hub and bearing assembly and must be replaced if separated. For the rear sensor on 1990 Deville and Fleetwood, disconnect the negative battery cable, remove side panel carpeting, detach the sensor connector, and raise the vehicle to disconnect the sensor cable. Remove the sensor and inspect for contaminants. For installation, coat the sensor with anti-corrosion compound, secure the cable, and connect the sensor to the harness. For 1990 Eldorado and Seville, follow similar steps, ensuring to inspect the sensor face. For 1991-93 Fleetwood and Deville, remove the hub and bearing assembly, clean the sensor housing, and inspect for wear before installation. For 1992-98 Eldorado and Seville and 1994-98 Deville, note that the rear wheel speed sensor is integral to the rear hub and bearing assembly and cannot be serviced separately.
