when the abs sensor is open / no resistance as in a open circuit this device can not work no how no way. straping on a scanner /scope /voltmeter etc is not going to get any output.
with code retrival this helps narrow down where the problem is . DIY backyard mechanics most times lack this abs expensive test equipment. especially the ABS capabile scanner which requires GM diagnostic abilities. this why testing with an ohmmeter/voltmeter and disassembly of these very failure prone sensors usually works out, with the issues he has posted here.
taking a 1996 vehicle to the dealership with this repair could cost more to repair than the actual vehicle value.
finding a repair shop with the ability to read the ABS code could be a problem .
110% of these vehicles of this vintage have these issues if still on the road today.
