ABS Failure!

During an autocross yesterday, my ABS went out and the OBD says ABS FAILURE and the ABS idiot light is on. I have only basic ABS, no PSM

Brakes work fine, just no ABS.

I have a new found appreciation for ABS. Without it working, its really easy to lock up the brakes.

In searching, it could be a wheel sensor that went bad. I did find some info on testing them with a OHM meter, but there were several values mentioned and I don't know what the correct one is.

Anyone have any thoughts on troubleshooting the problem?
