My car came up with a real Christmas display a week ago and after searching on XO and checking with INPA decided the CANBus was not communicating. Could not connect to the transmission module. For most this seems to be caused by the ABS module pulling the CANBus down. After disconnecting the ABSM from the harness I could once again read the transmission ECU and so, pretty sure my ABSM is back on the fritz. Pulled it out this morning after getting the bumper and headlight off a few days ago.

Fortunately, the previous repair in 2018 had a three year warranty. They told me to send it back to them. Keeping fingers crossed they can improve on the previous job. (If they can't then I am not looking forward to coding a different one to my car.)

PS: The hoses for the PS, coolant pump and oil filter make it very tricky to get the inboard screws out. To re-install I will probably pull the fan and shroud to get better access.
