ABS / Lowtrac Light Fix!

Just want to let people know of a possible fix for an ABS problem I was having. I've seen a few other people here with the same problem so hopefully this helps.

Problem Description:
-ABS/Lowtrac light would sometimes light up together and stay on until the car was restarted.
-Happend sometimes while crusing, more frequently if i were to floor it or go up a hill.
-A spark plug wire is routed somewhat close to the front wheel speed sensor wire.
-A ABS scantool revealed the code was for the front wheel speed sensor - too fast/voltage high or something like that.

What I tried:
-Cleaning the wheel sensors.
-Cleaning the sensor connection plugs with electrical cleaner.
-Moving the wire a bit further from the abs sensor wire so it was no longer touching.
-Insulating the wire with electrical tape

* none of these things worked. But they all "helped" reduce the frequency.

Fix:
When I did my headers the wire routing completly changed and I no longer have a wire remotly close to that abs sensor line. The problem has not come back since. Basically, even if a plug wire is remotly close to that ABS line, it can still cause enough interfeance to throw the ABS system off and throw a code.
