I had this problem about 5-6 years ago, reckoned it was an ABS sensor. Didn't have a compatible code reader at the time, so I guessed it was the nearside on as it was more exposed to salt water etc. Wrong ! It was the other one.
The OEM one that failed lasted just under 3 years, the cheap Ebay ones, albeit known makes, are still OK after 6 years !It's odd that they didn't use the same sensor for both sides, would have cut tooling costs by 50%
Original front ones replacement, even if you have long Torx drivers, expect to remove the calipers, discs and dust shield: they live in a steel hole, rust makes them difficult to remove. I fitted the new ones with an anti seize material so if they ever need changing again it'll be easier
