a code reader will tell u which one , other than that disconnect each lead with wheels off ground and spin tire ( for fronts ) set volt ohm meter to ac . should read .2 volt ac if its good . back tires would be harder to spin . also may not necessarily be a sensor although likely . you could also go to advance auto parts and they will reAd codes for free ( easier option )

Most readers don't do brake codes since it doesn't throw a actual code. A shop reader is much better

Flashpaq will also report it.

Does anyone know if the unit will read diagnostic codes from multiple vehicles or just the one it's installed on.
