Default Seriously? Never heard of that.

;-)

COMMON PROBLEM! Easy answer is SEARCH the forums....

Your ABS controller is fubar. Call Module-Masters or BBA Reman Inc.

It could be, but almost certainly isn't.

Default Vag?

n : the lower part of the female reproductive tract; a moist canal in female mammals extending from the labia minora to the uterus; "the vag receives the ***** during coitus"; "the vag is elastic enough to allow the passage of a fetus"

Default It takes 20 minutes, at most. Turn around time is a day or two. Can be driven with it out.

Module Masters is $250, BBA Reman Inc $200.

Brake bias is not quite right with the unit malfunctioning or out. Get it fixed IMHO.
