Hello everyone. Has anybody here tried to test or replace an ABS sensor? I think I have a problem with one - the ABS light comes on and then goes out as it should but then comes on once the car begins to move forwards.

Yesterday I tried (without success) to take one of the sensors out to clean and check it. Is that a hex allen bolt that holds them in? Is it possible to do a continuity check on them with a meter? Bentley says clean the lens - has anyone here suceeded in getting one out and replacing it - and how did you know which one out if the four to change?

Many thanks for any advice you can give.
