I have attached some more pics of INPA while moving, to see if it would help anyone diagnose this more specifically, and also a short video clip of the Live Data.

There's no signal from rear left sensor like suspected. Unfortunately this doesn't give us any more info. Diagnostics alone can't isolate if the sensor is dead, wiring from sensor to module broken or module internal wiring broken.

yes. Also, this is the replacement Left Rear sensor, right? Since putting this one in, it caused even more problems, right?

Is it possible to swap sensors / connectors left to right to see if the live data + error code moves with it?

Yes it is the new replacement sensor, but it did not cause even more problems. Same problem as before I replaced.

I will try to swap them over next weekend when im off work.

Rear sensor is the same. I would put right to left and old left info right (very good chance that part is not defective). I would use one of the old sensors to make a jumper thar can cross wire left wiring into right wheel & vice versa.

One thing i forgot to mention is the MPG gauge on the cluster also stops working at the same time, however the tachometer, fuel gauge and temp gauge continue to work. Does this help anyone with the diagnosis?

Same old. You need speed signal to calculate MPG.
