ABS module goosed or not ?

I wondered if anyone could help me with a problem ? I have the dreaded abs trifecta lights and have had a diagnostic done remotely , Inpa could not communicate with my abs ,which led the guy to believe that there was no power at the abs module , does this mean the module is fried or could it just be something as simple as a plug out ?
The lights are on constantly , even after clearing them twice !

Sounds like first guy doesn't want to check any further so take it to a different guy and get another opinion.

He couldn't check further as it was done remotely , and now to add to my problems I have just been back out to the car and it seems the battery has died since the diagnostic ! Could the diagnostic have caused this ???

Could possibly be the cause as when you do the diag the key is left on but engine not running. Takes a big toll on the battery. I have a special charger I run while doing diagnostics so I don't kill the battery. Low battery could be the cause of no communication. I would recharge the battery then have it tested after the battery/charge system is proven good have it scanned by someone who has a proper scanner. I use a Snapon which is good but not as good as using INPA.

Just make sure battery and charge system check out good. The electronics on these are very sensitive to low voltage. Let us know how you make out.
