I had an ABS sensor problem and did a bit of troubleshooting. I got a used one with the same reading as your post 1.3K Ohm's and it worked fine.

Hm, ok, that's odd. Did your ABS light turn off after that? Mine is on all the time and when I run the diagnostic it tells me that it is the left rear that is faulty.

Yes my ABS light turned off and the system works well.

Compare the reading with another sensor, if they are close in value, then I would troubleshoot the circuit further. I'm assuming you cleared the memory (step on the brakes 10 times quickly while in diag mode)

My other three are within 1.6-2.0kOhm.
