    Hello everyone....I'm seeking some help with this issue as I almost wrecked my dream car because I had to slam the brakes and I slid out due to locking up...so I've done much research as I can to start diagnostics and I think I should start with the wheel speed sensor wiring probably? Question is what's the best way to actually test these? I've seen 2 videos where each one uses a multimeter differently...so what is actually the best way to do this?
    And if the wiring checks out should I replace the speed sensors? Any information very appreciated thanks guys

    Hey there....so I did scan right away, went to AutoZone and used there's because mine won't read abs codes....but it basically came back saying abs module...but that's the most expensive of the potential issues and also wasn't sure if I should trust AutoZone scanner to be 100% correct? Should I take it to a shop and have them scan?

    Some of these cars are/were notorious for breaking solder joints inside the ABS module. Not saying that's for sure your issue, but keep that info in your back pocket as you do your full diagnosis.
