First i started it and the abs light had came on. Then today i started it and the trac- controll came on. I know there is a sensor that connects to the wheel hub. If that is what is wrong, then what is a good price to replace it.

Check the wiring that goes to all 4 hubs. Take the connector off and inspect the terminals for corrosion.

when you check the sensors, spray some electrical parts cleaner on them. Worked great for me.

You didn't find any corrosion on any of the hubs?

It's a rather low level signal, the cleaner the connection, the better. Did they seem good and tight? If everything looks and feels good, then it is likely the wheel speed sensor has gone bad. You'll have to take it someplace that has a scanner that can read which wheel has the problem. Intense sells a good hub for around $100.

i had a scaned by a friend and it said the right rear sensor. How much is a fair price for a rear hub?

The rear hubs are more expensive than the fronts. RockAuto has decent prices, and Timken makes a good hub. I'd suggest not to just look for cheap, as they seem to use wheel speed sensors of lesser quality that may only last a few months, and you'll be right back to the same problem.

There was another post about the whole rear ABS/WSS harness corroding and needs replacement of the whole thing. I know Haro had to do it on his. What im saying is it may not just be the hub.
Here it is....
