Subject: Any way to test the ABS pulse generators? Author: cfisher : member since May, 2004 : 283 posts Posted on: 2005-11-17 11:09:21

My Anti-Lock light has came on. I've cleaned the ABS gear/toothed wheel on each corner, checked the wires and connections and they seem fine. Is there a way to test them short of buying new ones and swapping out until the light goes out?

Thanks in advance!
