Default TCS problem

Today i scanned my car and took it out for a spin because my low trac light will come on and off only when i am at a dead stop and i could not figure it out. Today i hooked it up to a computer and noticed that my front wheel speed sensors only work intermently when i am driving. Does anybody have any idea why they will work one minute and not the next? I'm completely lost and fed up with this!

Your hubs may be going bad. How many miles are on your hubs/bearings? (The sensor is permanently attached.)

the sensor is permanently attached, but the connector may be loose. the wire from my left from wheel speed sensor was damaged and was causing the same thing

One loose connector could make them both go out at the same time?

They probably go bad at the same time.
