Got the tool and was able to live stream the wheel speed. Do you have any tips on how to determine which hub is creating the dreaded 5 mile abs kicking in problem. I think it's the right wheel because I see it go up and down alot at lower then 5 miles but then there is times where it looks like it is the left wheel

Do an all systems scan, itll bring up every code in the vehicle (probably see some weird ones, even for the radio). There might be a code for one of the sensors even if the ABS light isn't currently on

Tried that it's not showing any codes for the abs. I also orderd a waekon 20560 abs pinpoint, but was trying to avoid having two readers

If there aren't any codes another scanner wont solve the problem.

Since you suspect at least one of the front sensors, I'd replace one (they're cheap enough) and go from there. If you still have Abs kick on but the replaced sensor isn't showing eradic readings, but the other one is, swap that one too. Both sensors are probably cheaper than a 2nd scanner that'll only tell you the same thing.

I have the ABS/Brake light on too and just bought a MD805 as Matt and Ladorn45 but I don't see where I get to see all 4 wheel sensors. Could someone walk me through how to perform that test to get the speeds from each one?

You need a scan tool like a Tech2 or Snap On to do that.

Are you sure that the wheel speed sensor is the problem and not the bearing causing your issue?
