Well having a solid rear axle there's only one sensor located above the ring and pinion but it counts as two for (Rear Wheel ABS). Four wheel ABS adds two front wheel sensors under the brake calipers in the knuckles. So three sensors = four wheel ABS.........go figure!

Look for the sensor wires clipped to the front brake hoses.
