Also, should I send my ABS to Matty or switch it out again and keep mine installed?

Switch it out meaning put mine back in and send back your loaner? Does mine need to be rebuilt if I am having the same problems as before?
I never cleared codes since I got the reader. Should I?

Thanks,
Amy

Clear the codes, I assume your ABS light is now off? That means your original ABS unit was bad.

Just came in from clearing the codes and taking a test drive. The lights on dash are very inconsistent on a daily basis. The only light on as of tonight (after installing ABS module and clearing codes) is the "check engine" light.

The car drove fine. Put in park to idle for a few, did fine. Drove back home and upon putting it in reverse with no throttle pressure, it attempted to "die" for a very quick second but didn't.

That's my update. :!:

Thanks,
Amy

That isn't a loaner I sent you, it's yours. You install it and send the old one back. That's it.

Really? That's great news since those screw were so fun to remove and replace! :) It wasn't that bad and my pregnant belly wasn't too much in the way.
Okay well my ABS will be in the mail tomorrow.
Thanks Matty Moo!

Amy..you just saved 900 bucks from a dealer job.

Can you clear and give us any new codes that pop up? Also tell us when they pop up ( how many miles/time from when you cleared codes.
