Default 18014-Rough Road Sensor Electronic Malfunction - time for a new ABS controller?

Guy who bought my old S4 is getting this code, so I'm trying to help him diagnose. Posts in archive seemed to point towards a faulty ABS controller, but can anything else cause it?

Default have him check his CV boots, from what i know the grease can splatter everywhere causing the

sensor to give that dtc. Dealer saw that code while i was still under warranty and replaced the ABS controller and still got that same code 2 days later (both my CV boots were torn at the time as well...actually they still are!)

Default Same code I got when my ABS controller went

I also had a the code:
01203 - Electrical Connection between ABS and Instrument Cluster
03-10 - No Signal - Intermittent
Those two codes combined seems to indicate a broken ABS controller

Default is that the only code he's getting? If he's gettin any of the codes that Dr Jek is sayin then...

its probably the controller but if its just the rough road then i bet its the CV

Usually, that's the DTC that indicates ABS ECU is bad. Also, it may kill the instrument cluster.

Ok, the car is still under warranty I think, so I'll have him take it in
