I've been told this means the rear wheel sensor needs replacing - expensive part. I live in snow country so not gonna get away without it...especially this winter!

Question is - are used parts okay for this piece of equipment?

Any good parts recommendation resources? I live in Southern Vermont.

Thanks!

p.s. 95 GLT 850 automatic - 168,000 miles or so.

 

Sensors get gunked up and need cleaning. My lights were on too, read a bunch of codes, but after researching it here, cleaned them, erased codes and things were good. I still get an intermittent light, but I think I need to re-do the job on the front ones again.

This is not exactly what you were asking about, but I think cleaning them first is the right approach.

 

If you haven't done so already, I would have the codes pulled so you can definately isolate the problem. The light alone won't tell you its the rear sensor.

 

I was having a weird issue where my ABS and traction control would kick on for no reason at all. I cleaned the sensors and found the front/driver's side one to be totally gunked up as well as some gunk on the ABS ring. Cleaning it up and that did the trick.

 

ABS Module soldered pins seems to be the problem on 1996 and later. 94-95 evidently -- it is the sensor cleaning that helps.
