I already had it hooked up to a scanner, and all the trouble codes were cleared. That was how it was determined the sensor was bad.

I checked tire pressure about a week ago, will check again as the temperature here is moving up and down a lot.

The only other thing I could come up with is the ABS module is going out. Multiple internet forums have identified this as a systemic problem, since they placed the module to close to the engine and it heats up the electronic circuitry (I know the ABS and TCS are linked, just not sure how).

Guess I have more reading to do.
