The most common problem I see is defective wiring to the front sensors. The years of flexing those wires during turning and going over bumps takes its toll.
Deterioration of the white plastic connector inside the engine bay has also become very common. I've been cutting this connector off and using a Deutch connector with gold contacts for both the brake pad warnimg light and the ABS connection. This connector tucks very nicely into the stock black plastic holder, making things look close to original.
Tracing ABS problems can be troublesome and time consuming. I used to spend hours trying to figure out what the problem was. I was finally able to buy one of the Porsche ABS testing units....this tool turns diagnostics into 10 minute jobs when "active" problems are present. Intermittent problems are more difficult.
I do rent the tool to people that can't find the issue with "normal" methods.
