ABS question

My ABS light lit up this last weekend for a short time It went out just as
soon as I looked at it. I checked with the scanner and got the code C1145

C1145 Wheel speed sensor RF input circuit failure

What would be a cause of an intermittent C1145? I think this is the 2nd time
in 6 Mo. But can't be sure on that outer than I have had it come on before.
Could it be as simple as a wet/dirty plug? Or am I going to be doing something
with the unit bearing?

Thanks
Sean

I was just looking at the pinpoint test in the Ford workshop manual and
it looks like bad connection is where I start because it's intermittent.
At least I don't have to deal with the tone ring like on a 2X4.
Anyway I'll unplug it and use some contact cleaner on the plugs, put
a dab of dielectric grease and call it good. Hope that is a fix.

Thanks Benny

P.S. Next time I am in Twin Falls I have to see if I can take a side trip and say HELLO.

Well I took the connection apart and looks like a bit of
corrosion or fuzz on one of the pins. Cleaned it out and
added some dielectric grease and remounted the plug
to the splash guard because it had fallen off also.
Now I will have to wait and see if it comes back.
