Re: ABS Light
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 [?].

Re: ABS Light
I have the same problem, the dealer says it is the ABS control Unit,
Hydraulic, $1400 for the part and $500 to install.
