ABS Wheel Sensor Reading

I am getting a right front wheel sensor code on my ABS. I replaced it with a Britpart one from Lucky8 today and am still getting the code, Low Signal Front Right Wheel Sensor. My question is what should it be reading? It is currently reading 1085 Ohms resistance from the sensor and there is no resistance on the plug end. This is without the wheel moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have to get these Three Amigos and their buddy from work off so I can get my inspection sticker.

Did you replace the whole hub? That seems to be the most reliable way to address the ABS sensor issue. Nothing wrong with the cheap eBay hubs.

1. did you erase the codes after the swap?
2. are you sure it is the actual sensor and not the shuttle valve circuit board?

I didn’t replace the hub. It may be something with the shuttle valve as well because I am pulling a code for it as well. I plan on doing Option B tomorrow. Why would the shuttle valve show a wheel sensor code?

Don't forget to erase the codes

I will be doing it tomorrow. Hope it works for the sensor code, if not I am watching a hub with sensor on eBay.

Could be the connection. They like to not work, hence why the replacement sensors usually have a lot of wire. They expect you to go all the way to the slabs

Also make sure you fully cleaned the hole/seat the new sensor goes into and it’s pushed in all the way.

but as mentioned, could be the connector.

My connector is stuffed. Trying to find a replacement RF connector, but no luck so far. If anyone has any leads please let me know. Otherwise I'll strip it and hard wire. Is there any polarity to be concerned about?
