What is the easiest way to reinstall the ABS control module on an 03' DOHC?
I am having mine rebuilt instead of putting a new one in. We went with the rebuild route as it is only $180 and the car does not have to be reprogammed at the dealer. If I was to go with a new one, it is at least $800 for the part, plus having to tow it to the dealer to reprogram the new ABS module. Keeping my original, skips having to reprogram.
It took close to 6 hours taking it out, and I am sure it will be much more difficult to put back in if we do the same method. We did not take any of the brake lines off of the ABS pump. Should we take out the ABS pump and then put it back on? Will the car have to have the ABS system bled after this at the dealer?
I am thinking we will have to take it to a mechanic to have them reinstall this ABS module. I love to DIY, but not sure if we can do this on our own. We are driving the car with the module out for now. Brakes are perfect, just no ABS for now. It is hard to get ABS to kick on anyways since the tires stick so good on this car in the rain.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
