ABS Module repair?

[franccesco30]

Hello

Has anyone used the ebay ABS module repair option? if so which vendor?

I've been having issues with my 2001 E53 5 speed ABS/DSC, lights stay on now for a while. I started by troubleshooting and ended up replacing all "speed sensors' and then moved to replacing the Steering Angle Sensor.

I removed the ABS Module to inspect it, but all seems to be in order, well I could not see the board. I have read and watched some videos referring to ebay to have the ABS module sent for repair.

Will anyone recommend any vendor to have it repaired or a solution to get rid of the the ABS/DSC ligts?

Regards

Franccesco

I went to BBA. They swore it was repaired. Went futzing with the car for a good bit. Gave up. Bought a Brand New Module. Viola. YMMV. Should have just bought a new module from the get-go.

I went with BBA too and worked well.

For my other car, bought used ABS module from local wrecker and coded to the car which worked well too.

Thanks for your response,

How much was the coding if you don't mind me asking.

Same issues as you here, but I replaced the speed sensor with some cheap ones and the trifecta is still there...

So, I just sent my ABS module to CheapABS last week. Came back this week with a note that "No Fault Found" and a refund (minus the shipping). So, I am gonna buy 4 BMW speed sensors. Hopefully that will do it.

I have not replaced the steering angle sensor. Found this really good video for where it is and how to replace it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rckQyUf00xI If the speed sensors don't fix the issue I'll try that next.

my experience with abs module. the ebay repair shop i used was a waste of money. i ended up pulling one out of a car at the junkyard and using INPA to program it to my car.

if you buy a new or used one, you will need to program it. stealership will charge you a fortune to program it.

Do you have a write up or link to how to program the ABS with INPA?

My module went out 2 weeks ago. Found an o2 X5 same package at the yard. Pulled it, plugged right in and calibrated the steering with GT1 and all good now.
