My abs light recently came on and stays on. I tried everything I could do without the use of a scantool, I cleaned all connections and all the wheel sensors, checked fuses. No change. So i took it to a trusted local garage, and he told me that the abs control module is bad. I tried to remove it, thought I could take a look at solder points and maybe find the problem, but I couldn't get it off the the pump assembly. I tried removing it by reaching underneath and removing the 4 screws that attach it to the pump, but there wasn't enough clearance to remove it, not enough space between the pump and the wheel well. So, my question is, if I remove the bolts on the pump bracket, will there be enough play in the brake lines to lift it high enough and get the board off?? I don't want to remove the pump, because if i read the manual right, it takes a scantool to properly bleed the lines. My technician tells me to do without it, I still have brakes, just no abs. New part is $900, but I found that o'reilly has a reman for about $100, and I think it is worth that. Any suggestions? Thanks, cal
