I have a 2003 Volvo V70 with a failing ABS / Wheel speed sensor. The traction control keeps cutting in even when driving gently. All wheel's and tyres are identical and the car was performing fine up until about a week ago. Tyre pressures have been checked and double checked, so i'm sure it's a sensor.

Question is how do I determine which of the 4 sensors is at fault? The issue originally only occurred when going round tight right hand bends eg roundabouts. It's now getting to the point where even in a straight line the TC is cutting in. The ABS light hasn't lit so i'm guessing no faults are stored.

The ABS light did come on this morning, but as OBD2 doesn't include ABS codes it doesn't really help me.

I'll try plugging a multi-meter in to each one and see if I can identify the faulty one. Seems to be intermittent though so might not be easy.
