So many moons ago I posted how I was trying to get Bear Claws to make nice with the stock ABS system.  At first it worked great then started throwing an Anti-lock light. The post asked how to figure out what was the fault code being thrown.  I did find the OBD harness in the trunk but Mr. Cassity said you need an ABS break out box to read ABS codes.  Don't have one of those but I suspect one or more of the wheel sensors. I tried to attach pics of the left front and rear installs for clarification.  I thought maybe the air gap might have been off but I just cleaned and adjusted them and they were at the 1.1 mm gap.  So a couple questions: When I hear guys parting out cars, do they keep those sensors? If so are any available for sale? Is there a bench test for a sensor? Are the sensors specific to each corner or are rights and lefts the same.  They seem to be symmetrical.  Didn't want to throw parts at it but I thought maybe the sensors would be the common failure since they're exposed to pretty harsh conditions. Thanks

I think it would require an osiliscope to actually see the sensor output. A hertz capable sensor might be able to see signal which you could compare to each side at a given speed.

Sorry I can't help much.

So nobody has any sensors saved from a parted car?  Come on fellas! :)  I don't have the equipment or the ability to trouble shoot the sensors so Im willing to throw a few sensors at it if somebody has some to sell.
