ABS/Traction service soon
I have a 2003 with 17000 miles, it seems when i let the car sit for a while i get these readings, not sure if the battery is running low and is throwing the system out of wack. Any suggestions? it does go away when i drive it for a while....

No pull the codes yourself screw the scan thing. It's built into the car.

also check out the tech section in the "ultimate diy thread" and the sticky on abs/traction. I'll bet you a 6 pack you have codes.

Berlin,
A couple of places fix this code, but you need to take out the unit and send it to them for the repair. One place is called ABS Fixer and I think they charge around $150.00
Do a search on ABS Fixer and you will find a lot of information

Just finished doing this myself, pretty easy to get the unit out and as long as you cover the exposed parts with plastic it's OK to drive it while ABSFixer.com is doing their thing. They turned the part around in a day and I had it back on and fixed in less than an hour. Make sure you get both connectors plugged back in really well. If you don't have the bottom (two-wire) connector all the way in it won't work (ask me how I know). If I had checked that earlier it would have been a 20 minute job.
Good Luck!
