   my abs light is on so i used my multimeter on the abs ecu plug and found that it was the front passenger sensor that was faulty, got a new sensor and its still exactly the same, anyone know what this could be?
   
   thanks

   check the wiring back over to the ABS unit, was the sensor new?

   ill check the wire, the sensor was not new but apprently it was 'tested'. if i used the multimeter on the plug straight from the abs sensor would that test the sensor? or would i have to plug it in then check it on the main plug that connects to the abs ecu?
