There is no rear ABS wheel speed sensor the system uses the vehicle speed sensor to work as the rear ABS sensor. Here is an ABS wiring diagram so you can see what I am talking about.

So I would clear the codes and try it again.

Here is how

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
