ABS Light Question

Did a search to find out why my ABS light might be on. I found a post telling how to run onboard diagnostics.

My question is where is the black RABS II diagnostic connector? I can't find it.

Heres a link to the post I found. Thanks.

If it's the same as a 96?? it's near the brake booster, LH rear of engine compartment, on bracket.

It is a flat 3 hole connector with only 2 wires going to it, Red w/PK stripe (Differential speed sensor low) and Light Green w/Black stripe (Differential speed sensor high).

Is this sequenct to diagnose a YELLOW light...

...applicable on a 2001 SD?
I have the ABS light (YELLOW one with the circle) on continuallly. At times it will extinguish, but seems to like illuminating more often than not.
It DOES do an apparent 'self-test' upon startup...then comes back on. Seems to be temp-sensitive...
It's been FRIGID here, and I have washed the vehicle and then headed right back into the cold.

I just replaced my RABS last week because my speedo/odo quit working and my ABS light was on. Got it at Schucks for $22.

Mag-
The speedo is right-on...I womder if these temps are making it goofy.
Do I need to buy a diagnostic device to investigate? What's a common ABS wear-out item @ 50K miles?
