Good to know. This morning my abs light and traction light came on for the first time. Brakes seemed to work fine so I drove to work. When I got here and turned the car off, I restarted it and the lights went out. Hoping for a dirty connection at the sensor!

The harness replacement are only a foot or so long but fix the problem and cheaper than a hub.

This is very useful information, and so useful I wish I had this to use years ago.

I had a problem with a '00 grand am years ago, I went through so many bearings before I gave up and let the stealership look at it to tell me it was the harness itself. I think on that particular car I was quoted $400 or so, so I just let the light stay on. I was also in my early twenties during that ownership period so I didn't care.
