well got both new ones and and all seems well except for an ABS code i have now. ill start another thread for that but i think this procedure damaged the cables for the speed sensors

 

Before you start replacing expensive ABS parts, there is one cheap and fairly easy thing to check. Look at the toothed cog at each wheel. Find the sensor and make sure there is no mud, gravel, or any foreign debris in the teeth or on the sensor. Check the wiring to the sensor to see if it has been cut or rubbed in any way. Does the ABS code indicate which wheel or is it a general code?

 

thanks for the reply but my ABS system is a 4wd system where the reluctor ring is located enclosed inside the hub so no dirt can get in. the 2wd models have the ring on the back of the rotor and speed sensor mounted on the spindle

i did not pull the codes yet as i have just ordered a new code reader the can access the ABS system and it has not arrived yet

 

Didn't realize that about the 4WD not having the external rings.
