[Shotimes] anti-lock light

Here's an update.  If you call AZ, chances are they'll tell you they can't
pull the codes.  However, in reading a lot of the posts on shoforum.com, it
appears that most generic testers in the 20 USD range can pull codes from both
the EEC-IV and the ABS.

For this sort of thing, the "Ken" method works perfectly fine.  If you have
trouble finding the connector, look for a red plastic holder that has the
words Anti-Lock Test stamped on it.  The actual test connector unclips from
the holder so you can get at the pins.

For my car, the codes I pulled are:

34,
35,
36,
28,
37,
62,
78

There does appear to be a recurring theme for the LH Rear Sensor in that it
shows up three times.  Hopefully I can find time soon to pull the wheel and
checkout the wiring to make sure it all is in good shape.

Does LH = driver side?

So given this set of codes, do y'all recommend anything else to try.

Ken,  Public thanks for sending the EXACT information I needed.

Cheers,
Carl Prochilo
