ABS light and Vagcom scanner

[Tom Love]

Two weeks ago I had a lock-up on I-5 in Wa. State and thanks to good tires 
and a tight sport suspension I managed to avoid a real messy accident with a 
MBZ. I missed him by less than a foot and passed by him at about 25mph. Yes, 
my module was not working, the rear did lock up and the car in front of me 
was out stopping the daylights out of the A4 Avant. ABS mod is fixed now.
