Chris,
My problem ended up not being the sensors, and it was the ABS control unit.
Where are you located? I was quoted $1500 [I asked how much of it was the
part and was told it is around $1200]. And my dealer is in a high rent
district too - Newport Beach, CA. My final payment on that was a little
under $1500 so I'm assuming it's a 3 hr job [?].

Unless you are a time traveller i would suggest you adjust your date and
time

If yoy are in Toronto indeed, go to ANN Autoservice:
101 Toro Rd, unit 44, tel 416-398-5333
Ask for Lui (Lajosh is his real Hungarian name).
They will give you free unbiassed opinion.
If you decide to let them do you will be pleased to see how moderate their
charges are.
You can tel them Plamen recommended them to you.
I have servicing my cars there for the last 6 yrs.
Good luck
Plamen, Mississauga

Hydraulic, $1400 for the part and $500 to install.
