    Ok I have been scratching my head for days on this one. Light has been on for a while came I after rain and never went off. I have tested each sensor with a ohm meter and each measure about the same looking at the sensors. Also measured looking back to the module. The front have measurements looking to the module the rear don't. I have removed the spare tire and tested the plug by the cross member where it ties into the main harness. Looking back to the sensors I can read each one with a meter. Looking back to the module I am seeing open, and all 4 wires are open to chassis ground. I am at a loss on where to check next. Thought about getting a tone generator and probe to locate it up under the hood. Any ideas would help greatly.

    Bad module? Just guessing, no idea how to check it.

    Reading the active code(s) is where you need to begin, either with a scan tool or by blink codes off the ABS light in the dash. There are many possible causes of ABS faults, sensors and their wiring harnesses are only a part of the system. Once you know what the fault is, you can start to troubleshoot accordingly.

    C0215 and c1201 I have bit the bullet and bought a left wheel rear sensor and plugged it in. I can test the wire from the cross brace to the sensor and see the sensor with my ohm meter. Changing the sensor didn't fix it. Bought a new expensive code reader to read them. Does anybody know where the wire harnes goes to after it come up on the driver floor board?

    Update for people who stumble on same problem.
    Ok so today I have been trouble shooting my abs codes. Found the problem. One side of the the abs sensor was/is open in the harness. From the plug at the drivers kick panel to the plug at the rear crossbar there is an open. All the harness looks good no cuts or abrasions. I ran a new set of wires from the plug to the other plug bypassing the harness soldered the connections and heat shrunk the joints. Drove down the road and it got the abs lights when off. Pulled over and cleared all data from obd port and went back home. No lights all good. Rear driver sensor measures 1.35k and the rear pass is 1.47k on the ohm across the two leads.
