Can anyone explain how to measure the resistance with a multimeter of an ABS sensor? I can't get any reading on them and I know this time it's me, eventhough the multimeter doesn't read anything on any setting.
thanks

Re: multimeter
CLICK HERE and watch the video for instruction.
If it turns out you are doing it right and i suspect you are then one of your sensors could be open circuit so there is no electrical path down one wire, through the sensor and back out through the other wire.
Where are you testing the sensors from too? ecu plug or wheel arch two pin connector?

Re: multimeter
I was testing an ABS sensor cable out of the car and I actually know this is a working sensor cable. Now I knew how to measure a resistance like in the vid (thanks) but where do you measure on this sensor cable I do not know for sure. There are to cables in this cable ending in the actual sensor with the magnet? Thanks for your reply btw!

Re: multimeter
For measuring cables, measure from one end tot eh other of the same wire. The reading should be zero ohms. (continuity)
