Found out the problem......
I stopped and bought a rear sensor, but had to go on a 120 mile trip before I had a chance to change it out.
On the way I started to get loping and grinding noises in the front drivers side wheel.
Took it easy until I could get to a dry spot to check. Jacked up the Front and looked at everything. Had some decent slop in the wheel. Turned out to be a bearing was going out and didnt have many miles left. Somehow this triggered the ABS lights.
I ended up changing out both hub assemblys/bearings and the lights went away. Rig has 195k so im not surprised the bearings finally wore out.
Never had to install that rear VSS sensor
