I had a CEL and the code was a p050 ( wheel speed sensor). Before i order one, which wheel is it where the speed sensor is located? Also how and is hard to replace?? The speedometer works fine also. Any help would be great. thanks

The speedometer was the other thing I was going to add, but if it is working fine...

I have gotten this error before when I did my emissions test down here for the first time, given the AWD RXs are full-time AWD, but here CELs don't matter, just passing the test is what matters.

Here is the location below. Not sure how visible this would be with a stock air box.

 

Thanks Lexmex, I guess i will take the air filter off. I had one more question. I put bigger rims on tha car. I had Autozone download the code and clear it out and it has not come back, should I change the speed sensor anyway?? Thanks again for all the help..

No, I would leave it alone. Keep in mind the ECM can adjust within a certain range to these types of things (just like my modifications) and since you haven't gotten an error, it means all is well for now.
