Inspect for cause of multiple warning lights. Multiple modules have failure codes in them including the brake module with codes relative to the right front wheel speed sensor. Other modules are complaining about invalid data from the brake module. Inspect right front wheel speed sensor. No outward signs of damage. Compare right front to left front sensors and found right front sensor has very low resistance. This suggests a failed right front wheel speed sensor. Recommend replacing sensor. Then recheck to make sure everything is okay. Upon sensor removal, found damage to sensor tip from debris inside bearing. Will need bearing too.
