Default ABS light on

My reader will not pull the ABS codes, so I am getting them pulled tomorrow. ABS light comes on as soon as I start the car, used to come on every 2-3 weeks. I cleaned the rear sensors and re-soldered the ABS, but I cannot get the front caliper bolts off to check the front. I used a 22oz hammer with a breaker bar and could not budge the bolts.

So, what else besides the front sensors should I look for?

You do not need to pull anything to get the front sensors off to clean. In fact, you can do it with the wheels on. Just turn hard to one side and you should be able to reach the (one) bolt that holds it on. Unplug the cable and it will come out for cleaning.

Chances are pretty good it's one of the connecting cables if not that the sensors need cleaning. It's not too difficult to swap the sensors and cables side to side and see if the code moves, assuming it is a sensor connection code. I hope you don't have to visit the dealer to read the codes.
