ABS Check Light Problems/Diagnosis Help!!!
So after lowering my car like most people, I get a abs error light. Probably due to me perhaps damaging a abs sensor. Anyway now and then the light goes out for minutes at a time.
So I distincly remember me be a lil rough with the left frony sensor, I pull it out and replace it with a used sensor I got. Before removing the sinsor I did check it accorind to the FSM where there should be 0.8-1.2 kilo ohms, and indeed it did have a value in here. Anyway I replace it with a used one which I also check prior to installation. I go for a drive and still the light comes on after going a lil over 5 mph like it should
So next I goto the ABS computer harness and check for continuity like it says in the FSM. It seems that I only have continuity like i should for my right front. All the other sensors apparently dont have continuity like they should.
It doesnt sound right how 3 sensors go bad, as i was careful with the rest of the sensors upon spring installation. Besides that it say i have no continuity to a sensor i believe is good by testings it accoridng to the book.
Any electrical gurus have any idea what it could be? has anyone ever experience such a thing?

well go through all of the checks in the manual, if everything is ok then get the wiring diagram and start checking continuity. If you dont have continuity in a wire start tracing it until you find the route of the problem.

I recently troublehsot my ABS harness as well. Be careful because it's confusing. The pic in the manual that labels all the pins on the ABS computer is from the perspective of looking at the connector on the ABS computer itself. The large harness connector itself is of course a mirror image of that and that's the end you're working with. That means for instance that the top left pin when looking at the computer would be the top right pin when looking at the harness. Check it again while keeping that in mind.
