Default Engine Warning Light P0500

My Check engine light comes on frequently. The corresponding code is P0500. Can anyone provide advice on how to replace the Speed Sensor?

Front speed sensor is actually pretty easy. Take off wheel. 10 mm bolt on inner part of steering knuckle where the axle runs through it. Take out bolt. Remove other bolt attached to wire up near strut. Remove from where it attaches to clip. Replace. You do have to reach under the week well plastic to find where it clips to the rest of the wire.

Thanks for the information. Which wheel are you referring to? Steering wheel or tire wheel? Do you know where I can find printed instructions?

it is tire wheel

Also note that 'easy' is very subjective, especially if HtownBlue said so. He is MUCH MORE experienced than you and me.

Alldatadiy.com has lots of information for a small fee and might have some instructions.

There are two 10mm bolts to remove along with the wire harness clip where it joins the rest of the wire that feeds to ABS/ECU.
