ABS light and Vagcom scanner

[Tom Love]

Having just gone through this experience lately I can contribute a little. 
For it to be the ABS module failure you should not be getting any codes 
other than a 'no communcation' readout when scanned. When starting the car 
you should get three very annoying loud beeps plus the ABS light will be on 
as well as the brake light. The ABS light will remain on while driving. All 
this usually equals a dead ABS module. Been through this twice always hoping 
it is only a bad sensor. At least the costs have come way down over the last 
three years.
