front wheel sensors 2000 vette
hola
got a problem with the abs/active handling/traction control lights on.
the left front sensor.
erased codes came back
checked all connectors, clean.
check for continuity at itemediate cable and good there.
checked for ac volt and ohms at sensor and according to what i've read on this forum, i'm within specs.
have check connector at abs, clean and seated.
was going to switch hub/sensor with right side. a whole lot of work if i'm missing something else.
i've checked the ac volt and ohms with right side and both sides are consistent.
any help welcome!
thanx

If I remember from other threads in here, the wheel speed sensor puts out an ac voltage representative of the wheel turning. I do not know what voltage you should see. Bill Curlee or Lucky131969 are the people you need to see this thread as they can better advise you and will have the diagnostics. I'm guessing you've got a bad connection from the sensor to the car wiring at the connector or the wiring has chaffed somewhere on the frame and you'll need to find it.

hi
thanx for all replies
i found the problem.
after initially checking the connectors on the intermediate harness (L)
i had continuity. put all back together i didn't have continuity at the
main harness end of the cable. pulled it apart and checked again, i had
continuity. smells fishy! pull the sensor end connector apart and found a broken contact. pushing the probe of a multimeter into the connector had given me continuity. the probe forced the broken metal
contact to touch the broken pieces together, thus, giving an ohm reading.
repaired connector, put back together, cleared codes....voila no codes.
thanx for all replies
