While it could be the ABS system or a sensor it could also be a failed
wheel bearing or front axle, or both. Do you have any vibrations in the
front end as well? It seems that things work under very close
tolerances at the wheels and a worn drive line parts seem to allow
enough movement to send incorrect readings to the brake system
which eventually makes it shut down. I've had that happen on several
GM front wheel drive cars and after replacing bearings and axles the
computer gets it figured out and the problem goes away. If your car
has 180,000 km or more on it those front end parts are pretty much
worn out and will start giving you problems. If its in the budget change
out both front axles and both front bearings. Use the best quality parts
you can find so you're not doing it again in a year (I speak from
experience) and you should be good for another 100,000 km.
