When installing be careful to turn the wheel very slowly to ensure that the sensors have enough clearance with the rotating toothed gear. You should be good to go!!

When I got my 95 the anti-locks would come on at 5 mph while stopping. The fix you mentioned above fixed my problem. I was going to get the codes read at an independent repair shop. However, I forgot about the apointment and saved myself the 25.00 they wanted (which would of been a good price). Call around, ask around for a shop that can
During vacation last summer, I had both my brake light and ABS light come on. The cause was leaky rear wheel cylinders. I had replaced my rear shoes and then the rear wheel cylinders started leaking. When I got home, I replaced the cylinders, and shoes once again. All is fine.
One test that you can do is measure the resistance of each wheel sensor. Using a digital volt OHM meter, the front sensors shouldn't be greater than 2200-2500 and the rear not greater than 2500-2900. If these test good measure the wires back to the control for continuity. If they are good your control may be bad.
