Re: ABS Sensor

Sounds  like either end caps or tires could be at issue.   As a matter fact
I did just replace one set of tires; to make this scenario that much more
likely, I replaced the bad 195/65/15's that the previous owner had put on
with 205/60/15's, figuring I could live with the slight difference 'tween
front and rear until it was time to replace the other pair. Could be the
problem.  I'll check out both possibilites.

Thanks to all the listers who've responded to this.
