What that means for your ABS module
Road salt: check the wiring before the module
Salt and brine work their way into the ABS system's wiring. Corroded wheel-speed sensor connectors, or a harness chafed along the frame, can set the same warning lights as a failed module. Before you pull the module, look at each sensor plug and at the module connector for green corrosion or broken pins. If they are clean and the codes point at the module itself — or a scan tool cannot talk to it — the module is the likely cause.
High water: rule out a wet connector
Driving through standing water can push water into connectors and, on some vehicles, toward the ABS unit itself. If the light came on after a flooded drive, unplug the module connector and look for water or fresh corrosion first. Tell us about the water when you order, so the bench knows what to look for.
Connecticut rules that matter for an ABS light
Connecticut has no periodic safety inspection for most passenger cars — the ABS light is still a warning to act on.
Safety inspection
Connecticut DMV says personal cars and trucks generally do not need a safety inspection. DMV lanes inspect special cases such as salvaged (totaled), composite and reconstructed vehicles, motorcycles and grey-market imports.
