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.
Rhode Island rules that matter for an ABS light
In Rhode Island, an ABS warning light can fail a safety inspection.
Safety inspection
Cars and light trucks up to 8,500 lb are inspected for safety and emissions every two years. New vehicles are exempt until they are 24 months old or reach 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The ABS warning light
Rhode Island's inspection manual says an antilock brake system must be kept in good working condition and lists "ABS light stays on" as a cause for rejection. Inspectors check the check engine light, ABS light and brake failure lamp with the ignition on.
