[W126 Coupe] ABS

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Nope...better off finding out which sensor is the offending/non
functional bugger.  I would start w/ removing the two in the front
whee's as they are prone to getting choked w/ debris.  Also, clean the
sensor wheel to the best of your ability.  I usually have good luck
using excessive amounts of a quality brake clean while spinning the
wheel.  If you still have problems, you can test the sensors...  I
know the specs are in the archives and the test is on the service
manual.
