Note! The illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and/or models. Some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.
Preparatory work
Ignition off.
Press the brake pedal a few times until the pedal becomes stiff and rises slightly. This releases the vacuum in the power brake booster and thus prevents the O-ring from being sucked in when the pedal position sensor is removed.

Disconnect the connector from the sensor.
Slacken off the snap ring around the mounting for the sensor slightly. Insert a narrow screwdriver or wedge. Press one end of the snap ring in approximately 10 mm. Press radially backwards in the groove for the snap ring.
Remove the sensor and the O-ring.
