How are ABS control module issues diagnosed?
Anti-lock braking systems are complex, and are typically diagnosed through professional computer scanning equipment, or manufacturer specific software. The technician will communicate with the ABS control module via computer, and view real-time data to determine what fault has been detected, and how the system is behaving. Finally, if the module is suspected of failure, the module inputs and outputs must be tested physically to ensure the ABS control module is at fault before confirming the diagnosis.
How is a ABS control module replaced?
Once the battery is disconnected, the technician must remove all electrical connections from the module, and all brake lines from the distribution block, which is attached to the ABS control module. Once the new control module is installed, the brake system is flushed and bled, and manufacturer specific software updates will be made.
RepairPal Recommendations for ABS control module issues
During this repair, the entire braking system should be inspected, and the brake fluid will be completely flushed and replaced to prevent contamination of the new ABS control module.
