Only 5 minutes ... if they haven't rusted themselves in!

Unplug the abs sensor connector and check the resistance across the sensor. Almost zero ohms or very high/infinite ohms then there something wrong with the sensor.

Or the act of unplugging/plugging may clean up the contacts of the connector and it starts working again.

Go to live data, spin the wheel and see which wheel shows a reading.

Gear changes on this one aren't that precise and quite approximate though. Clutch feels quite high too. Are these cable or...

I've never had a problem with DOT4, even when left in a brake system for a good few years. I don't personally see any advantage to use DOT5.

But the whole DOT4/DOT5 brake fluid debate does become like the one on what 20w-50 oil is the best.
