This light came on. It flashes usually when I hit a bump or loose traction. My car did not want to get into reverse this morning took a minute finally . Now the light came on and stays on and my car started rolling backwards at a stop light on my way to work. I’ve just spent well over 2k on it doing repairs feeling a bit discouraged any help is much appreciated!

You can try to reset the ABS module by disconnecting the battery for 30 min. or more. To pinpoint the concern, a scan tool should be hooked up that will read ABS codes. Could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor or a cracked reluctor ring. Getting a code will tell you which wheel to look at.

When my 08 starts losing Reverse, I re-train the tranny. Works after a few tries (rusty memory)...

This is the code that showed up

You didn't provide the code in your message. Once you get the code, google or ask Siri to provide an explanation of the code.

I was told to buy a new abs sensor for the front driver side tire I just bout one hopefully I can do it myself seems easy enough hopefully!

Check out your left front wheel speed sensor. The tone ring may have debris embedded in the teeth or the sensor air gap may have to be reset. The sensor itself, may also be defective. Now you have a diagnostic path to follow and this should correct your concern and cause the ABS light to go off.

Check out U-Tube and see if there is a tutorial video. Again, check the tone wheel and make sure there are no broken teeth or debris impacted into the teeth. This is also called a toothed reluctor and is usually found on the outer CV joint housing in the front. Good luck.
