Hi,

If you are not getting a signal from that sensor then this is clearly the cause of the lights.

If the sensor is replaced, then you need to test the system by spinning the wheel with a meter on the sensor to see if the sensor is generating a signal. If not, then you have a wiring, sensor, or tone wheel issue. Here is a guide that walks you through this. If this all test okay and you are getting a signal, then the module may be your issue.
