Default Wheel speed sensors will not read under 6mph

Anyone heard anything about this?

I sent my car to a local shop and they did a shock absorber change and front wheel bearing changes. Now the car has the low traction light come up everytime I start moving and abs will suddenly kick in when turning left and slow speeds.

Any ideas on what this might be?

This is on a 98 ls...

As of now... the abs sensors will rarely read under 6mph. I have checked the reluctor ring and there are no broken teeth. The sensors read perfectly and in accordance to the rear ones... so the sensors do not seem faulty.
BOth front sensors are reading the same way... NO CODES.. NO LIGHTS...

Possible that the shop hit the speed sensor cables and damaged it? I know it's happened to a ton of people here. I do my suspension myself and I'm very careful about those wires because they cost about $200 to replace!

98 LS? wrong forums? lol

sounds like a serious problem, better take it back and have them fix it because that could be really dangerous!

Problem can apply to any model year. Since this is the forum most seen... well.. decided to give it a try here...

Anyways... that shop knows NOTHING about electronics...
Thanks anyways...
