most of the time all you need is a new hub with speed sensor in one of the front wheels. a shop with the proper diagnostic tools can tell you exactly which wheel speed sensor is faulty. however on some rare occasions the actual trac/abs motor burns out and those can be pricy to replace. it is called a EBTCM (electron brake traction control motor) and can be 500 for the motor alone.
good luck! hope you have the chance to own a riv soon!
