Check codes. Maybe ohm it out as one wire would be a ground and easy to verify. To get a reading on the actual sensor, wheels moving and sensor reading bearings, more difficult and may require engine turning wheel to check is a small pulse voltage is created. Dont know for sure, never tried it. $70 for a harness, I'd try to fix as wires are easy to fix.

If you only crushed the wire, my guess is that it can be repaired. It's a pretty fine wire from outward appearances, but if it were me, I'd try a repair. If you have some electronics experience, if you screw it up, worst case it won't work and you are out nothing but some time. If it works, make sure you use some sealing heat shrink to cover up the repair. Slide a length of that on before you solder things up.
If you succeed, it will work as normal, if you fail, you will get a light. Then you know it needs replacing.
Don't forget to disconnect the battery everytime you do a repair like this.

I'd just put on a new sensor. Might also want to see what if any, error codes you might be throwing. I doubt anyone would repair the sensor, and if they did it's likely the labor cost would exceed the cost of a new part. So doubt there are any sources of how you might repair this.

If the copper wires themselves aren't really damaged, just the insulation crushed/perforated, you could just reseal the wire with liquid electrical tape.
If the wire strands were torn apart, then you should be able to make a good repair. I'd solder it myself, as crimp connectors could cause a resistance problem. Then shrink tubing or liquid electrical tape.
Either way, the damage should be quite repairable.
