I agree that the sensors are probably dirty with brake dust. They (and the tone wheel) are easy to clean with brake cleaner. Make sure it's non-chlorinated.
I clean mine every time I change my brake pads, and if the sensor is dirty, the signal will weaken as speeds increase due to what's basically lag of an electrical signal that is starting or stopping.

Hopefully that's the whole problem.

I think John's right about the rear sensor. I'm not that familiar with it, but I believe it's in the differential or on the driveshaft.

Good Luck and Post Back
