[Shotimes] ABS codes & sensor

[Carl Prochilo]

Joe,  If you can pull the EEC codes, the ABS codes are simpler still.  The
rule of thumb is to use the first code thrown.  It is common to see up to
8 different codes, but the first one the computer sees is usually the main
culprit.

The cables eventually wear out, possibly due to all the vibrations they
have to sustain.  I've already replaced 3 of the 4 sensors in my car.
