Lightbulb Can bad brake/wheel sensor be replaced individually?

2013 RX started showing bad brake symptoms a couple of weeks ago. Took to independent shop that has the proper diagnostic tools to chase the codes, which are C1241; C1422; P1604

They say one sensor is bad. Can that be isolated or is it kitted with the ABS System Module?
Anyone here worked through this?
i see no TBS for this problem but it’s definitely a problem with LS of this vintage

Replacing the sensor at one wheel has nothing to do with replacing the ABS System Module. Things wear out. They replace individual wheel sensors all the time. I presume you mean it is the ABS sensor.
Just replace the sensor as this shop, which you said you trust, but now appear to have second thoughts about their opinion, recommended. Replace it and all should be fine.
Why are you looking to spend more money on a very expensive part that is still working (the ABS SM) and has nothing to do with your codes according to these mechanics?
