ABS light on
My father in law has a 99 F-150 2x4 extended cab pickup. It has a 4.6L in it. About a month ago the ABS light came on in it. I told him to check the rear speed sensor and the fluid level. He did this and the light is still on. Does anyone else have any other suggestions. He did not replace the sensor but he did clean it. Does anyone know the OHMS reading that the sensor should be reading? I am pretty competent with meters and such and can check this for him if someone can give me the correct readings! TIA!

So if the reading is lower or higher than specified I am going to need to replace the sensor? Does anyone know the $$$$$ of the sensor and where it can be purchased?

Dave is correct. I believe the normal range is around 2000 -2500 Ohms. Mine read open. Replacement part was $19 at Ford dealership. 5 mins to install.
As mentioned, ABS faults do not write to OBD II so there is nothing to have to reset. They are real-time only in that they exist only as long as the fault condition is occuring. Fix the problem or turn of the engine and the fault is gone.
