ABS
I have a 97 civic ex that the abs light comes on from time to time. When I check the code it gives me "15" right rear wheel sensor. Can anyone tell me how to test the sensor ? The Haynes manual I have give very little on abs. I don't want to buy a sensor unless I'm sure that's the problem.
A search of "ABS sensor" on HT easily found how to clean sensors.

There are pages of threads on HT under ABS sensor, and likely your answer, if cleaning does not solve.

Chiltons dealt with the proper gap, pulsar to sensor, not testing components. There is a book, Automotive Brake Systems by Halderman and it tells how to test ABS controller and sensor, but the specific values are for a Dodge minivan. You might find enough info there to help. The controller sends a DC votlage of 2.5v. The sensor resistance is 1103.2 ohms. Honda products may be different, but you could probably compare front to rear, or rear side to side. Integra gap is 0.016 - 0.039 inches, again, check your working side, if not already done. Sorry, this is only book knowledge, no actual experience here.

You can test to see whether or not the sensor is generating voltage with a multimeter.
Set it to aC volts. Jack Up the corner of the wheel you're testing. Disconnect the sensor and place one lead on each pin of the sensor connector. Spin the wheel. The sensor should generate an aC voltage. Basically, whennusing a multimeter to test, the readings will just jump back and forth. Ideally you want to use a graphing meter to actually see the voltage sine wave. That way you can see if the ring is damaged or missing a tooth, as the wave will drop out. But the multimeter will tell you if it's completely inoperative or not
