I see in the parts section. The sensors for the system. I also see they are different colors.

What if anything do the different colors mean ?

Color of the housing signifies early ('89 - '92) or late '93 - '96) and the color of the label/part # signifies the location on the car!

I saw somewhere on the forum that the colors for position are:

orange sensor Right Rear sensor
yellow sensor Left Rear sensor
green sensor Left Front sensor
blue sensor Right Front sensor

I am not sure of the housing color difference between early and late.

Colour of the housing for the early sensors is black, late ones are light beige.

89-92 I believe was the black housings

93-Up the white housings. Shape was different as well between the two however the biggest difference was the frequency was changed in order to comply with Canada standards.
