ABS light stays on with ABS 11 fault code

Any ABS sensor works about the same. If you can find where the sensor plugs into the harness, you can unplug it and then get a digital multimeter and measure A/C volts coming from the sensor as you spin the wheel by hand. Spinning the wheel by hand as fast as you can spin it should generate an A/C voltage of about 0.6 to 0.9 volts or more. This one test checks the sensor itself and if it is close enough to the tone wheel on the hub. If the sensor is no good, you will no voltage at all. If the sensor is ok, but too far away from the tone wheel, your A/C voltage will be very low, usually 0.3 volts or less. Typically ABS sensors are also about 1500 to 3000 ohms of resistance through them.

 

So what wad the result?how much did it cost?

 

You should be able to get an FMI from your dash on that truck, might have to hit a button on the display for the next screen to get it. The SPN is only telling you which sensor, the FMI will tell you the type of failure. It could be a sensor or wiring issue. Or it could something more serious like a wheel bearing issue making the sensor gap too large. The FMI can narrow that down a but more and eliminate a few possibilities.

But to answer your question, you will have to pull the wheels and brake drum to get at the sensor if need be, but you can check ohms and a/c voltage output without pulling the wheels. I generally ohm it out where the sensor plugs into the harness, if that checks out, then ohm it out again at the ECU plug, which will tell you if you have a wiring problem in the chassis harness.

 

So take it by a shop to have fixed.
Is it something i should be alarmed to getting fixed immidetly? Or can i wait another week until I'm home.
