Thread: ABS Issue

If its not that, then its going to be the abs module it self.

Now, I know where the abs module is (its right next to the master cylinder) but where is the control module. How much will each of these parts cost?

Whoa....you paid the guy $39 and he didn't even give you a description of the codes that it is throwing? Not to mention that anytime a wheel bearing or sensor goes bad, it will throw on the ABS and TC lights since the TC relies on the readings from the sensors to work properly. So a bad sensor or bearing will shut down the TC.

But regardless, it will still have codes set that he should have gave to you, because that is what you paid him to do. Then you can do your own research and find out what is going on. But now, you paid him to give you his opinion. And I wouldn't put too much weight in just one opinion, yours, mine, or anyone's.
