I can tell you what is making the bearing wear out prematurely. That can be related to parts quality or installation errors. ABS sensor usually read off a reluctor on the hub so a bad bearing will cause the air gap at the sensor to change and set a code. You need to have the ABS codes read to find out if that is even the issue.
