ABS sensor problem.... Help please asap
My ABS light has come on on my 2wd saff, does anyone have any tips or a quick method of finding out where the problem is. I know i could swap each sensor out but i was just wondering if theres a easy way.
Thanks all

you could pull them out an give em a clean as they get heaps of greasey
shit over them, which blocks the signal it reads from the abs ring or something it worked for me
in the past, worth doing as it cost ya nothing to start with, hopefully that
may fix it for ya.

If u can get hold of a multi meter. If u disconnect the abs sensors 1 at a time n u can check for resistance in the abs sensor. If u dont have any resistance the sensor is nackered. U can also jack the car up n spin the wheels check the sensors 2 c if they r creating a voltage at the sensor connector so u know that they r workin ok n there is on dirt or damage 2 ur abs teeth on ur drive shafts.
