I think I am having an issue with one (or possibly multiple) speed sensor(s). I'm randomly getting ABS, Traction control (esc), and sometimes Service 4X4 lights. They will come on randomly, and go away as soon as I shut off and restart the truck. I've given the wheels the old "grab and shake" wheel bearing test, and all seem good. I've also checked all the plugs/connections for the speed sensors, and they appear fine as well. Does anyone know of a way to test the individual sensors to determine which one(s) is/are bad?
I've been considering the alphaobd software, is this something that could be diagnosed with it?

thanks,
muddy

Follow up question.

Since there is no play or noise from any of the wheel bearings, I’m assuming the issue is just a wheel speed sensor.
Is there any reason not to drive the truck until I resolve the issue?
I realize that the ABS and traction/stability control will be disabled, but I’m ok with that.
