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.
Oregon rules that matter for an ABS light
Oregon has no periodic safety inspection for most passenger cars — the ABS light is still a warning to act on.
Safety inspection
Oregon 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.
