It's most likely the ABS/EPS pump fault, known as the 'Teves Mk60' fault. If that is the fault, the unit needs rebuilding or replacing. The warning light cannot just be extinguished.

That's who HJ has recommended for fixing units in the past.

What makes you assume the fault lies with a sensor? Check the fusible links on top of the battery. They're not unknown to have a hairline crack resulting in a loss of electrical feed to the ABS unit. Check very carefully, preferably with a multimeter or test lamp because they can be difficult to spot.

This car could be 20 years old and could have a string of faults on the abs system associated with old age.
