Default ABS Light Flashes and dings

Hi New Old guy here,

Mom in laws 08 TB started this last spring, she didn't mention it all summer and now its happening again.

I drove it tonight, when stopped as you take your foot off the brake and go to turn, the ABS light flashes and dings and goes out. I also noticed what I believe to be a Traction Control light come on and go out. (Triangle with a skid symbol)
I got it to do turning left and right from a stop. Also on a straight hard stop.

The two of these together point me to a wheel sensor.

Are there any Tests (Multimeter) I can do to determine if it's a sensor and if so which one?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. She's recently widowed and can't afford a dealer trip.

I doubt it , unfortunetly stuff like that you are almost at the mercy of the dealer because they have the correct scan tools to look at all that .
