 Subject: 1997 Dakota ABS
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a '97 Dakota V6 4x4. The ABS system keeps kicking in occasionally at low speeds...the dealer confirms that it's the rear ABS sensor, but says it uses one that is extremely hard to find and was only installed on a short run of vehicles. They have had no luck in finding the correct one and have had the wrong one shipped to them repeatedly. They finally gave up...has anyone else run into this and, if necessary, can I disconnect the rear sensor entirely?

just did rear abs sensor - problem solved, some hints for a 99 dak
- day before spray nut with wd40 or liquid wrench
- back rear wheels up ramps (or steep driveway, helps keep diff fluid from leaking out, also chock wheels!)
- disconnect negative battery terminal
- top nut 13 MM use box wrench
- bottom nut 14 MM use box wrench
- press connector with thumb and pull connector off sensor
- wiggle sensor up, put screw driver under lip and wiggle to raise (carefully)
- dip finger in hole and put diff oil on new O ring on new sensor
- push new sensor in and bolt up (also, use dielectric grease for the wire connector)
- put ignition key in and turn to start position for 30 seconds and hold it – resets PCM
- reconnect battery
you're done

Note: Check the wrench sizes, I've seen that some people use 1/2" and 9/16" (which are close to 13mm and 14mm). Not sure if the nuts are metric or not.
