Abs light on - 2/3/2008 7:29:25 PM    dsm1990gsx Posts: 1530 Joined: 10/22/2007 Status: offline Hey guys just wanted to know if anyone has had the same problem that I am running into now.  My g/f's grandfathers 99 diamante has an abs light for the rf speed sensor.  I ohmed the sensor and it was in spec.  I also ohmed the wire from the abs module connector to the rf speed sensor and that was good.  It looks like he has a bad abs module but didnt want to replace it unless I was 100% sure.  Anyone have any ideas???  Thanks.  _____________________________ 1990 Gsx-"garaged kept" 1998 Svt Contour-dd 2003 Escape-g/f's car 1993 Tsi-parted out/junked 1995 Altima gxe-sold Post #: 1
