So, do you feel that he should just go ahead and replace the DSC/ABS module without changing the sensor first? BTW .. not saying the module may not be bad.

The DSC/ABS module uses the 4 wheel speed sensors. He has other problems that's consistent with sensor problems. I think you'll find many people have had sensor problems.

I just think it would be prudent to replace something that the DSC/ABS module 100% uses (and is relatively inexpensive and simple to replace) to confirm certain things either way.
