Diagnostics indicate LH rear fault.
Live readings indicate stable voltages for other 3 sensors but LH rear fluctuates from 2.39v to 0v when idling & stationary.

Does this confirm faulty sensor?
 
Update

Followed Wammers suggestion, removed LH rear sensor, connected digital meter between connector pins & wiggled entire length of cable. There was no break in continuity so thought it must be the main loom.
Before checking further, a quick inspection of the connector pins in the socket showed the two pins to be a wee bit wide.
Using long nose pliers I carefully squeezed the sockets a bit tighter.
Re connecting the sensor to the main loom had a tighter fit.
Connected to diagnostics, cleared historical fault & monitoring live data showed the voltage now to be steady at 2.37v (like other 3) with no fluctuations like before.
Wiggling the abs lead showed no change in voltage & no abs fault.

Looks like problem sorted.

Thanks to diagnostics & guidance from here... .. Problem solved.

Thanks all.
