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.

I'll charge it up in the morning and try inpa again once it's fully charged . Thanks

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.
