The ABS wiring loom goes across the steering column and eventually it wears thin. This could be the reason... also have your battery tested as a dying battery can cause many strange issues.

What code reader are you using. A non Porsche specific one basic one won't give you all the codes

Measure the resistance of the wheel sensors. It could be one going bad
They should all be aropund the same, 1.6k ohm IIRC

I had a abs failure a little while ago and it was on sensor that was bad and it read significantly lower in resistance than the others

I ought a used on on ebay for ~ $35 and all is good now

Are the ABS Wheel Speed Sensors the same on all four wheels on a Boxster S ?
