My right rear speed sensor has been out for about a year now. I now live in AZ with no snow, so it's not as crucial that I have it. It's annoying though having the bright ABS light on all the time.

I have heard that sometimes you can clean the speed sensor off and that will fix it. It's magnetic, so particles will stick to it. Also clean off the teeth in front of the speed sensor since that is where is takes it's reading from.

Other than that, check the connections to speedsensor all the way back. Sometimes the connections get loose.

If the part is actually bad, it's like $150 for a new one (if I remember right). Might be able to find one a junk yard though.
