Replaced Sensor, ABS Light Still On

[Mark Rosenkrantz]

I'd look at the output with an oscilloscope.  This code can actually be a
lot of things.  Odds are, it's related to the axle change since that is when
it started.  Something got damaged or bent... unless the tone ring isn't
correct on the replacement axle.
