Sensor Resistance Test
- Before testing sensor resistance, ensure pole piece-to-wheel speed sensor tip is clean. Check wheel sensor pole piece for damage. If pole piece is damaged, replace sensor.
- Disconnect sensor connector. Inspect sensor wiring harness for broken and pinched wires. Repair or replace as necessary. Using a DVOM, check sensor resistance across terminals at sensor component connector. See WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is not within specification, replace sensor. If resistance is within specification, go to GROUND CIRCUIT TEST (below).
