ABS module repair for Montana drivers
ABS, traction or stability light on? Mail the module in from Billings, Missoula and Great Falls or anywhere in Montana with the prepaid label we email you. It comes back repaired and still coded to your VIN — or, if it is past repair, as a refurbished unit with your data cloned on.
Montana at a glance
Montana has no periodic safety inspection for most passenger cars — the ABS light is still a warning to act on.
Montana inspection rules and the ABS light
Safety inspection
Montana does not appear on the U.S. GAO's list of states that have required periodic vehicle safety inspections (1929-2015), and no newer program was found.
- MDT has about 700 trained maintenance workers to clear ice, slush and snow from Montana's 25,000 lane miles of highway, and it clears interstates and the busiest roads first.
- MDT says 10 Montana communities do not meet federal Clean Air Act standards and must use anti-icing chemicals on roads instead of sand.
- Montana's record low of -70°F, set at Rogers Pass in 1954, is the lowest temperature recorded in the contiguous 48 states, according to NOAA's 2022 state climate summary.
Winter roads in Montana: check the wiring first
MDT uses magnesium chloride, sodium chloride and traction sand. Crews may spray liquid chlorides on roads before a storm (anti-icing) to keep snow and ice from bonding.
Roads in Montana get salt or brine in winter, and that is hard on ABS wiring. Corroded wheel-speed sensor connectors and harness damage along the frame can set the same lights as a failed module. Before you pull the module, look at the sensor plugs and the module connector for green corrosion or broken pins. If they are clean and the codes point at the module itself — or the scan tool cannot talk to it at all — mail it in.

My ABS light came on after winter. Is it the module?
Not always. Salt and slush corrode wheel-speed sensor connectors and wiring, and that sets ABS codes too. Clean, dry connectors and codes that point at the module (or no communication with it) mean the module is the likely cause.
