    check each sensor with a multimeter if they show open circuit there buggered they should show a resistance which off the top of my head can't remember what resistance it is

    easiest place to check the resistance is from the first connector just follow the wire from the sensor at the wheel


    good luck

    Thanks to cosmicma

    set multimeter to the ohms scale and if selectable something like the 1K ohms scale.. as long as you get a reading it's not open circuit

    look here mate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eCJa7JZzfg

    If it's unplugged, open circuit so light comes on when ignition is switch on and self check starts.
