Talk to Matty Moo about if this is a ABS unit failure mode. He knows this things in/out, and will sell you a replacement unit very reasonably.

midwestabs.com or search username mattymoo

Many satisfied customers here, including myself.

Get that Torx socket fully onto those screws so they don't strip. They are a PITA to get off with vice grips, 1/8 a turn at a time

+1 on ABS module. Changed mine last summer from Matty Moo. Took a little time (less than an hour) but easy to do.
