ABS module repair for Tennessee drivers
ABS, traction or stability light on? Mail the module in from Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville or anywhere in Tennessee 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.
Tennessee at a glance
Tennessee has no periodic safety inspection for most passenger cars — the ABS light is still a warning to act on.
Tennessee inspection rules and the ABS light
Safety inspection
Tennessee 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. source ↗
Emissions testing
Tennessee no longer tests emissions. Testing ended in Hamilton, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties on January 14, 2022, and Davidson County (Nashville) ended its program effective February 5, 2022. source ↗
- The end of testing in the five counties outside Nashville followed EPA approval of a change to Tennessee's air quality plan; the last required test day there was January 13, 2022. source ↗
Heat and humidity in Tennessee
TDOT often pre-treats highways with salt brine (water, salt and other additives) before storms, which lets it use less salt. source ↗
Under-hood electronics in Tennessee live with heat and humidity. The ABS module sits next to the brake lines and warms up and cools down on every drive, and over the years that cycling can crack solder joints inside it. It shows up as codes that come and go, or a module that drops off the network when hot. That is board-level work — the kind we do on the bench.
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.

Our promise
Can’t be repaired? You don’t pay for a repair.

- 1A replacement — a refurbished unit of the same family with your VIN, coding and configuration cloned onto it, from $950. You pay only the difference from what you already paid, and we confirm the amount with you first.
- 2Your module back — with the repair price refunded, minus shipping costs.
Either way, nothing that changes your price happens without your OK.
