IS THIS THE WAY YOU GUYS TRACK THIS DOWN? THANKS

Answer
Hi Mike,
You probably have a broken sensor ring on the outer part of the CV joint. You can inspect it from under front of car or if you remove tires, caliper and rotor. It has teeth that flag the sensor. The ring should not move and be centered on ABS sensor. If broken, you will probably have to replace the outer CV joint or the whole half shaft.
If all check OK, then you will need to take it to a mechanic who can pull the "ABS codes" from the ABS computer.
GOOD LUCK

Jeff
