So I don’t really know how to fix my car. The ABS comes on when I’m pulling to a stop every time 3 of the sensors are malfunctioning because there is communication issues from the computer along with other lights on the dash coming on then disappearing. Yesterday the reader said there was air getting into the gas tank. Today there were twelve errors when plugged in. What is happening in my car and what do I need to do to fix it?

Hello,

It sounds like you have an ABS sensor/bearing hub that is out and needs to be replaced which is common. Lift the front end and grasp each of the front tires at the top and bottom and try to move back and forth to check for play. Replace the side that is worn. Here is a guide to help and diagrams below to help you on your car:

If there is no play the module is going bad here is a video to walk you through the steps of replacement on a similar car:
