ABS Control Module - Ford Escape

[SteveC]

Good Afternoon,

The other day, my display started showing, "Check Brake System" in addition to the ABS and brake lights illuminating on my dash. After having a mechanic scan my vehicle, he said the ABS control module needs to be replaced.

I'm being quoted $763 for the part and a little over $200 for labor. I hate to dump $1,100 (with tax) on a 7 year old car. Any recommendations on whether a used or aftermarket part is OK to use? I'm having a little bit of a tough time finding used parts, but I think this *could* be what I'm looking for:

Appreciate any advice!

Yes, you could just leave it alone. No repairs will mean you have regular brake system working fine, just not ABS.

Old thread I know but, check with Module Master in Moscow, Idaho. They rebuild and provide warrantee.
