[VXNIT]

How do I check wheel sensors spoke of regarding ABS light coming on? Mine is off in morning when started and upon 5 mile drive is on remainder of day. Many have spoke of checking sensors for metal flakes etc. How do I do this before paying 90 bucks to Isuzu to hook to computer? Thanks

You can take the brakes off and examine the sensor rings on the back side of the discs and also the sensors on the spindle and rear axle housing. Removing the sensors can be a scary thing because of the brittle plastic. I have broken one because of this - before that, the wires popped out - after that the mounting bolt broke. I learned the hard way! AGAIN! The mounting bolts may be siezed due to rust and high temps. I would lube things up if you need to replace them and then use a socket and hammer to help tap them out the backside after removing the mounting bolts.
