Constant ABS issue- C1234

ABS light constantly on. I'm used to sensors going out on these.

I replaced the sensor. 3 times now. First time I used a brand new aftermarket sensor. No change. second time, I used an OEM used sensor to test with, again, no change.

I swapped the sensors from the 2 front wheels. Code did NOT follow the sensor.

When I clear the codes, turn the key and start the vehicle, as long as I do not move, the code does not come on.

I unplug the sensor- the ABS light illuminates. Same code, C1234. This leads me to believe the wiring itself is not bad or at fault.

I swapped both front hubs between each other thinking maybe I had a hub going bad. No change. I swapped the front hub with a few other hubs out of other trucks I have here (none of which have ABS light on ever), no change.

At this point- I'm at a little bit of a loss. Other than pulling the cluster and pulling the light- I'm out of ideas, and tired of pulling this front end apart over and over.

Any thoughts?

Sorry not much help here, but my ABS light has been on for several years and many miles later have still seen no ill effects. Carry-on.

Have you considered the wiring may be the issue? Check for any broken insulation etc.
