ABS light on Dash won't go out
#12
some places will do it for between $20 to $40. that's the one thing i liked about the OBDI system, any idiot could check their truck (or car), and just look up the codes for themselves.
ah, the good old days, hahahaha!

The (timken) hub I purchased came along with the sensor/harness & I took it to a break and alignment shop that my family & I have known for years. He diagnosed the abs system with the computer & mentioned that I have a bad abs computer. I will be sending my abs computer to that website that does the service for $130 soon... & will give you guys the results.

I just changed just my sensor on a 99 Jimmy 4x4 and it was a breeze and the sensor was around $55. Remove the wheel, remove the outer 18mm bolts holding the whole caliper assembly, pull the caliper off and tie it off to the side, pull the rotor off. Now you will see the ABS wheel sensor bolted to the hub assembly with one single allen head bolt. Remove the bolt and undo the 3 brackets holding the harness to the upper control arm and then unplug it up in the wheel well under the battery.
Reverse the process for the new one and your will be off to the races. The ABS light should go out as soon as the computer sees the proper operation of the new sensor as did mine.
As a side note I picked up my sensor from a local parts store here and I had to shim it as it was making contact with the hub. It took me a few tries as I had too large of an air gap and the ABS would engage under 15km/h. I finally got the spacing right and all is good so beware when buying cheap after market sensors.
