I'm not sure that is meaningful. Motors generally have coils of wire inside that may provide for continuity between the two wires.

Is it off the car already? I'm not sure what running the motor will do when it's not working in the ABS system.
Again, what makes you think the motor is shorted? What problem are you having?

No it is not off the car. The ABS control module was giving a wheel sensor error. A few times I disassembled the module and re-soldered the sensor leads because after a month of working properly, it was giving the sensor error again. The last time I saw the motor wires stripped. I was wondering if it was a short circuit. It showed 0 ohms when measured. Then I removed the outer plastic of the abs motor and saw that the wires were not touching each other. I can't remember exactly, but I think I saw the abs motor error in my last attempt. After that, I just left it.454cid wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 13:05Is it off the car already?

Off all the things that could go wrong with the ABS, the motor would not be something I'd worry about. The modules are known to go bad, and wheel sensors and wiring get exposed to road debris and flexing. I'd suspect the wiring going to the wheels before the motor. Even with a motor error being reported, if the module isn't working right, I'd suspect the motor error to be false. Have you seen MidwestABS's troubleshooting page? https://midwest-abs.com/troubleshooting
Looks like he says .5-5ohms on the motor. When you say 0 ohms, how are you measuring that? Can your meter measure less than 1 ohm?

Troubleshooting page is very good. Thank you, i will measure the motor with another multi meter. When I measured it before, I measured it by taking the minimum level of 200 ohms, maybe the multi meter cannot measure the value of less than one ohm.454cid wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 14:36 Off all the things that could go wrong with the ABS, the motor would not be something I'd worry about.
