I know it's been a few years but do you or does anyone have or know where I can find a diy?

Sorry I'm resurrecting an old thread but I'm trying to get some confirmation on the sensor. I had a ball joint fail on driver side on an '01 GS300. After replacing it, I got the ABS warning light on the dash. I checked it with volt meter and couldn't get a reading. I tested the passenger side and got 1.67 ohms. These sensors are still going for about $135+shipping off of RockAuto so I rolled the dice on a cheap set off of eBay. I checked the new sensor and it was reading about 155 ohm. I went ahead and replaced it but I still have the ABS warning lights.
So, the questions I have are
1. Is 155 ohm too low for it to work and I need to find another sensor? Do I need to find one that measures in the 1.6-1.7 range to fix it?
2. If I do end up replacing the sensor with a good one, does the ABS automatically go off if all is good or do I need to go to a dealer and have the warning turned off with Techstream or something similar?

Thanks for original post, I can hardly know due to know photos. I update this in case others needed.Gen2 GS300 front parts are R/L: , here is cheaper one:
remove 10mm bolt on the Knuckle, pull the sensor out, then trace cable path to remove a few 10mm bolt/screws - inc those around the plastic cover and under the car.
You need to go under the car, pull the bottom plastics which covers the windshield reservoir (say Left side), you will see last clip and the connector. Snap and pull out the plug you get sensor free.
it shall have 1.6-1.7Kohm or 1-2,5Kohm, if you spin the hub ~1/2rps, you would read 0.1-0.2V AC.
I replaced lower control arm No.2, hammer ball joint that causes the sensor broken. Got one from Amazon for $25+2 in 24 hours- thanks for made in China deadly cheap <10% of genuine price. This car uses passive sensor or a coil with magnet.
