I didn't anticipate having another update this soon, but here we are.
Today I went to an empty parking lot to try and reset my abs without the confines of a neighborhood road.
It worked for a few minutes; then, the lights came back on.
Back home, I unplugged the left (the good one) and right (the bad one) rear abs sensors and tested them installed with a multimeter again.
Left rear abs sensor |
Left rear abs sensor, reverse polarity |
Right rear abs sensor |
Right rear abs sensor, reverse polarity |
So the right rear wheel abs sensor has significantly higher resistance and only seems to read resistance in one direction.
I removed the sensor from its hole and found my axle leaked inside the hole on the sensor.
I wiped off the oil, reinstalled and went to the internet.
I found a lot of information saying a leaking axle seal can ruin the abs sensor.
So I think this is my ABS issue, and in the next few weeks, I will try and replace the inner and outer seals and the wheel bearings since I'm at around 170000 miles, and it hasn't been done.
I'll probably have to replace the abs sensor again too.
So far, I am considering the following:

Does anyone have experience with Torque King?
Trustworthy?
I've done many front hub bearings but never replaced wheel bearings on a solid axle.
Are the tools with the first link necessary?
