Hi:

There is a chance the sensor or the toner ring a is faulty. The easiest thing to do is this. When the wheel turns, in this case the left rear, it produces an electrical signal. Using a multi-meter, you can check if that is present. I've dealt with a lot of this failing. I'm not sure where you are located, but if you are where rust is an issue, that is usually the cause.

Here is a link that explains how to test one.

If possible, follow that link and let us know the results.

Take care,

Joe
