The sensor puts out A/C voltage.... to ck, disconnect the connector above the sensor, spin the wheel, you should get a voltage..... What you get is less significant than the fact you get something...... If you get nothing then you need to move the sensor in/out till you get a voltage.... I would get the plastic spacers (about .80 a piece) that go on the tips of the sensors, this should prevent you accidently going in too far.... If in/out gives no voltage then you prolly have a bad sensor, but given the circumstances of "fault" I would not believe this the case........ The abs controller is a self diagnostic unit.... If one of the sensors gets no reading the abs defaults to off...... A long shot could be your rear diff lock engaged and didn't dis, but I would think you would feel and hear that prollum...... If that's the prollum, quick, go race Glen Powell in NH..... <:~)...... Definitely sounds like a sensor either faulty or no reading HTH Scott
