i fixed the vibration issue but haven't had time to make it to the ABS light. this weekend is bad for me because i'm going on vacation and next week i'm taking it to as a demo piece to a "trumbull day fair" with my place of business. I don't see myself getting to it anytime soon. I hope she pulls through.

just to help you out there then the codes refers to rough surface/road signal faults could be ABS trouble codes stored, CAN data bus so I recon you just need to clear the code and see how it goes

possibly a damaged wheel sensor due to the vibration you had with the wheels (not uncommon) its like the bearing going and smashes the sensor but when you get back from hols ask then

everytime ive been able to access the ecm and i have gotten this code the abs module was on its way out. if you have bosch 5.3 abs id be willing to bet thats what it is. if you can access the abs module to scan for codes look for an error for instr. cluster can bus. pretty soon the abs and brake light will stay on permanently and you wont be able to pull codes from any module in the car without unplugging the abs module first.

Not a good sign for me folks.

the problem is persistant.

How do i unplug the abs module?
Will fuse 7 work?

you will need to remove the bulb from the dash cluster ( while the light is on the system is switched off anyway) so just removing the fuse will still leave the light on
