Wheel speed sensors are usually going to generate a smooth waveform, with a frequency that varies with speed. Some are square wave, but the function is the same...just analog 'pulse generator' versus digital 'hall effect' types.

Anyhow, assuming there is only ABS function (no traction/stability), all the ECM is looking for is a wheel that stops moving- a wiring issue can cause the signal to stop being sent, as if the wheel has locked...but when the ABS starts working and sees that it is having no effect on the speed of that wheel, it should relent and set a DTC.

I suppose if the short is very intermittent and only occurs for a brief moment, you could get random activations of one wheel (or both rears, since IIRC that Explorer is 3-channel, not 4). That would be...pretty scary.

The best place to start would be to determine exactly what wheels are being acted upon.

I hope this is helpful to you!
