Any of You guys who know if the abs wheel speed sensor are the same for 2 wd as for the 4 wd? Have been searching but haven’t found a sensor for a 2 wd. The abs is activated randomly at low speed.
Many thanks in advance

It's probably rear wheel ABS if I remember on my 2000 2wd. The sensor picks up on the rear end. There is a reluctor ring on the ring gear. I have had issues with critters chewing the wiring back there because it's exposed.

Same.

Heres a video showing location and replacement.


 
My abs was very over active and I figured it was just how they were. I got rid of the abs on mine Because of that.
 
Thanks guys, haven’t done any troubleshooting yet. I’ll look into the rear sensor, I assume that I should be able to get some kind of reading when I check for continuity?
The vehicle will not past the yearly inspection if the abs don’t work.
Thanks again guys

Might try cleaning the sensor and changing the rear diff fluid. These sensor are magnetic and might have particle buildup on them.
 
Replaced mine, 02 Jeep, 3 weeks ago, splashing through puddles screwed with it. On inspection it was cracked and when wet it went screwy.
 
Had a look at the rear sensor, looked okey no dirt just oil. Showed 1.88 kOhm on the digital multimeter. Removed the front sensors and they looks as the pic, the one on the drivers side was bent on the “tip”. Had it corrected and put it back, made a short test drive and the abs hasn’t been activated so far. Hopefully it stays that way. The tip on both front sensors looked kind of beat up so there’s problaby a matter of time before I’ll have the same problem. When measured on the multimeter it showed 2.68 kOhm which should be okay I guess. Does any of you guys know where to find new sensors or replacement?
