Got the sensor out and other than a little dirty grease on the end it looks fine. I see what you mean about it being hard for anything to get in there. I tried repeatedly to clear the codes and it won't clear. I've got the caliper off and bracket, but it's inside the wheel bearing I think, and I'm not interested in pulling all that. Do you know if there is a way to check the sensor itself, with a meter maybe? The car only has 16k miles on it so I assume this is covered under warranty. I just hate the hassle of going to the dealer. Also, I modified the car for cruise control with 2 push buttons. It never occurred to me, but that won't void any warranty will it? I have one last question, will it hurt to drive as it is now? I assume you just won't have ABS or traction control. Thanks again for all your quick and accurate help.

Measure the resistance between the two pins. It should read about 1K ohms. If it measures as open, then the sensor is bad.

The DIY CC would not violate the warranty for the ABS, since you installing it would not have affected the ABS (unless of course they find that you damaged a wire related to the ABS system while installing it).
