G-sensor or ABS sensor?

I bumped into a curb a while back. I had to replace the wheel and wheel bearing, thinking that the ABS sensor would come with the wheel bearing, which is does not. However after the fact, ANY time I press the brakes I can hear and feel the ABS unit working, but the wheels are not slipping. So I assumed it was RR ABS sensor that was bad. When looking the ABS sensor up I noticed a G-sensor for sale.

The wires on my RR ABS sensor are all okay. So I'm not sure if that ABS sensor is bad or not. After seeing the G-sensor, maybe it's that.

Anyway I can test both or them to make sure which one is bad?

Or what about using a Snap-On scan tool to read some info?

The G-sensor is in the console so hitting a curb wouldn't hurt it. I think you need a scanner that can read the abs.

Need a scanner that will display ABS codes, and all 4 wheel speeds (not just vehicle speed) to determine whats going on.

Sorry for bring this back from the dead but I put this on hold until now. I do have a Snap-on scanner and will check it tomorrow to see what I can find. I really hope I can see wheels speed and what not.
