Wheel Sensor Location

Based on a search here it would seem my wheel sensors are dirty or defective which is causing my ABS/DSC/AirPressure lights to all stay lit on my dash. Can someone tell me where to find the location of these sensors?

Thanks in advance.

well first off... if you have an 05 then you dont have tire pressure sensors. its either staying on because it needs to be reset or maybe your switch is bad (sometimes people spill stuff in/on the switch) most likely.

remove the wheel, remove the speed sensor from the top of the hub carrier. If I recall it's secured w/ an allen screw. The other end is plugged into a cylindrical plug/housing towards the front of the car, just follow the wire.

Sorry I said that wrong, I meant Flat Tire Monitor.
