I got the new ABS sensor. Changed it. everything back to normal. The problem was

that the brackets that hold the sensor's wire had moved. That put enormos tension on the sensor wire everytime I turned the wheel all the way to the right. I wonder what made these metal brackets twist like that. I readjusted them. I hope it won't happen again

Yes the wire was disconected a few intches above the sensor. Did not feel like fixing it. Just put the new one.

Paid $151 at europeanautomotive.com (Free Shipping). It came in 1 day.

They sent me OEM part. The dealer was asking 205+ tax for the same exact thing. I am very happy with europenautomotive.com

Would unplugging/replugging the long. acc. sensor cause EPS light to stay on?
