Where is the wheel speed sensor located on this model car. Is there one for each wheel and if so how do you determine which one is bad?

there is one on each wheel, you will see a "gear" at the back of the hub, the abs speed sensor gets data off of that gear.

to check them hook up a multimeter to it and turn the wheel, it should read voltage, then check for resistance and make sure its withiin specs.
