I would have the car re-scanned for body codes. There are a number of sensors that can light up the abs/trac light and you can end up throwing a lot of time and money in the wrong direction. I changed my front wheel bearings only to find that did not fix the problem. Had the car scanned and found it was the EBCM (electronic brake control module). Bought a used one from Morad, installed it, and have not had a problem since. I'm not suggesting your problem is the EBCM, just that a scan is the most effective means of getting you to a solution.

DTC C1221 LF Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal is 0
DTC C1225 LF Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
DTC C1232 LF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
DTC C1291 Open Brake Lamp Switch Contacts During Deceleration
DTC C1293 DTC C1291/C1292 Set in Current or Previous Ignition Cycle


Sounds like either the front left sensor needs to be replaced, or the wire going to the sensor has a break in it.
