ABS Module - Dodge Durango

It appears the ABS module is bad. I am looking for a replacement or a rebuild. In the meantime, can the SUV still be used without presenting any danger? We are not towing with it but it is a daily driver. I have read that it isn't an issue as far as braking. What about doing any damage to other computerized parts?

I have checked on Ebay and MercadoLibre (Mexican Ebay site) and there are options. It should be about a week before I have a replacement.

    News Flash: It's not that rare, and exactly why Module Master and several other companies do a brisk business in rebuilding these units.

    It's very very rare for a module to just go bad. Is it damaged in any way? Like water or corrosion? Are you sure it just doesn't need to be re flashed? Have you taken to a Dodge dealer and hooked up to the WiTech system?

    Check out Module Master in Idaho, got a rebuilt ABS module for the Suburban there. What's nice is that they inventory popular models, so rather than rebuild yours, your order a rebuilt one and send yours back for a core credit. IIRC, my net cost after core credit was around $175.

    For now just reinstall it and drive it as is. it will not harm nor change normal brake use.

    The module has been removed for evaluation. One shop wants 6000 pesos for rebuilding(?) it. That comes to about 400 dollars U.S. I think I can do better and want more time to check it out.

    But no damage to any other component, computer or wiring?

    Might be a good idea to pull the main ABS fuse, since a bad module could cause problems with the BCM (the Body Control Module is pretty sensitive). Your brakes will operate just fine without without ABS.
