ABS sensor
Hello everyone,
I just discovered that one of the rear passenger side ABS sensor on my 89 Corvette is NFG. Does anyone know where I can buy a new one? Or a working one?
Thank you
Joe

It and the wires are in tact. So what ever has failed it is inside the casing. Carid sells a ABS sensor for the front wheel. I am wondering what the difference is between the rear and front. I am going to call them tomorrow. Thank yo

I went to RA. Actually. They don not sell many ABS sensors. I looked through a list of cars. I was wondering if that sensor is used on other GM models. I am calling Carid, Cranburry NJ today. They sell a front ABS sensor. Is there a difference. They all look a like and have the same resistance. Just wondering.

The ABS sensor has a specific amount of OHMS like 900 to 2000 OHMS. I did not measure the sensor. A friend that was assisting me did. This weekend I am going to measure it and check for voltage fluctuation, myself.

Just wondering. I thought that on the spinning wheel AC voltage tells all?

ChumpVette,
No I used a multi meter to determine that one of the sensors is no good. I was just wondering out loud sorta. If there is an analyzer other than the KM that does the OBD 1 ABS system. And then I was trying to figure how a sensor fails. It is in the hub. Just thinking out loud. I have TunerPro RT on my laptop. I see that there are some new programs out there. Does anyone use them. And how do they work.
Thank you

CumpVette,
I heard you the first time. In fact the reader my mechanic used said exactly what you said. The light just tells you something is a miss. The KM is needed to determine the problem. We used a multi meter. Thank you again
