Folks,

Any idea what the ABS sensor resistance (in Ohms) should be on my Vx Monterey?

On the vehicle it is reading 1007.

On the bench it is reading 1017 (and 1025 when the cable is moved).

(Not that au-fait with a meter, I wonder if I have the setting correct.)

Does this point to a duff sensor? The other side reads 1064 on the car. I have not taken it off yet and tweaked the cable.

Of course, interrogation of the ABS control unit would tell me straight away, but I don't want to pay dealer prices, and do not have one nearby. And I needed to assess the DIY potential of replacing the sensor anyway.

There has been a persistent problem with the ABS going off-line, usually following a right turn or suspension impact on the nearside. It was the nearside sensor that I took off the car today.

The fault went away for a couple of months after liberal spraying of corroded bolts (on the cable holder - not sensor!) with "duck oil" during disc replacement.

Any insights welcome!

Cheers
