Default ABS sensor resistance?

Again, sorry , i cant find anything with this friggin search function on here!
My ABS lights on, again, just tested the resistance on all sensors, 3 of them are at 1085 and the one other is 1102, is that about right, or is the one reading higher my problem?!
I dont remember the light being on when i parked it there 6 months ago! lol

i would remove them all and give the place where they sit a good clean. i'm not sure what the resistance of them should be.

Wheel Speed Sensor Circuits

1. Ensure ignition switched off
2. Disconnect ECU multi-plug
3. Connect ohmmeter between harness multi-plug terminals listed below:
o LHF: 7 and 25
o RHF: 5 and 23
o LHR: 4 and 22
o RHR: 6 and 24
4. Resistance should be 900 to 1400 ohms
5. If resistance not as specified:
o Disconnect the appropriate wheel sensor from the car loom.
o Measure resistance across wheel sensor at plug on end of sensor.
o If outside above range, replace wheel sensor.
o If OK, check wiring between sensor connection and ECU.

the resistance changes as the wheel rotates, you cant really check them that accurately the only proper way to test them is with an oscilloscope as said you can check continuity through loom easily and if you get an open circuit directly on sensor then that would be an obvious fault

resistances are fine, does the light stay on from start up, or come on when you start driving?

if it comes on when moving its normally a sensor that needs cleaning.
