OK im thinking of taking out my ABS module and sending it somewhere to get fixed. Are there any write-ups on how to take it out? Also, will my car run without it? THanks

 

first off what the problem?? yes you can drive without the ABS-ECU module, the search is a good place to start its been covered to death

 

ABS light is on constantly w/ brake light flashing. im assuming the module needs fixing and am probably going to send it to modulemasters.com

 

I would agree it sounds like the module but have a look at the thickness of the break pads and the fluid level first ( it could be telling you it needs new pads

 

yeah i just replaced the pads all around. ill replace the fluid. i looked here, audiworld and audizine but couldnt find a write-up for removing it.

 

did you bleed the system??

 

i had a local mechanic do it whos a buddy of mine so im not sure but im sure he did it right

 

only thing I can say is convince me the ECU is down give me the code ( considering it was ok before he did any work I presume?? ) and no CEL was on prior to the work then the job is suspect

 

abs light is on and break light flashing does not mean that abs module is bad. I got the same light because of front passenger sensor is bad. Vag the car first, get the code what it says before you send the module out. maybe it is just a sensor problem.

 

Yea get the code that says ABS module non communication or something like that. It could just be a bad/dirty wheel speed sensor. You wanna check out all the minor/inexpensive possible faults first. What is it fine before the brake job? If it is the module heres the DIY. My abs module has been faulty since May and I my ABS works fine.
