ABS would activate when not needed at low speeds, then quite working and dash light would come on. Replaced speed sensor and it solved the problem.

ABS light came on after bounding through a snow bank. Told I'd need to replace ABS on front left...expensive and haven't done repair yet.

Both front wheel speed sensors register as bad when scanned. i guess it's good(?) to know this is likely 2 bad sensors.
