Ford F150 1999 4WD 5.4 V8 53K When I start engine ABS light comes on then goes off,when trucks starts moving and I get to 5mph ABS light comes on I think it is one of the speed sensors (has 3) 2front 1back at diff. Is there anyway for me to check these had them all out and cleaned them and did visiable inspection looked fine, can I use volt meter to check what reading would I be looking for?
Thank you

you'll need to have a scanner hooked up to the truck to find out what the abs code is. most auto repair shops will have them.

I wanted to know if there was anyway to check the sensors with a volt meter by reading ohms instead of going to dealer and spending bucks to get it diagnoses . Thank you
