All companies have stated if it is the processor then they cannot repair it. Mine was a rare part number and so was hard to find a replacement, yours seems more generic and so there should be replacement options.
Definitely check the wiring as advised, it is a known issue. The ABS pump itself does not need to be removed if you need to send it off for repair, just the module is sufficient. There are 6x torx 25 screws. Mine being an S8 the engine bay is crowded and I found removing my air box gave me much better access. I also had removed the inner arch liner to help me get it out. Good luck

Hi Homer,
Not meaning to highjack your reply but - I’m about to send my ABS module to ECUtesting and I also have an S8. I was wondering what was your ABS Module part number, was it 4E0614517 AB H46. / 4E0910517D 050?
Thanks. Did you ever get your unit repaired?
