The ABS on my wifes Vue comes on at ~5-15 mph for no reason then shuts down outside that range.  
I figure it’s a bad sensor.

Anyone want to make $0 and tell me what sensor to replace?

I will most likely end up swapping one out at a time, but I would like to avoid that  
if I can as I really hate working on cars these days.  
(ask 91MR2)

I would like to pay $0 but could be persuaded to provide a box of girl scout cookies.

I hate you for using that avatar…lol.

It’s probably just faulting due to brake dust clogging it. Pull the wheels and spray electrical cleaner/brake cleaner and make it look pretty again, worked for me in the past.

ABS control module could be the culprit too, it was on my Passat, and now on my S10
