ABS sensor question

ABS sensor question
Trying to fix an 05 Dodge Grand Carvan SXT 3.8l. FWD w/sto and go. It's got an ABS code for the LR wheel speed sensor. I Ohmed the sensor but I can't find any specification for what the value should be. All the info I can find is for Checking voltage etc. Are these gen4 vans different how the ABS sensor works vs. Gen3? My dad had a bad ABS sensor on his 1999 Town and Country and I measured Ohms to find it was bad.

I look in the service manual for 2005. It doesn't show ohm resistance, but there was something for DC voltage. I'll post it,because i don't know if you already have it.
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
9 Turn the ignition off.
