ABS, traction control off , service stabilitrak, e-brake light all on. Started intermittent would come on (chime) and go back out. this lasted about two days. I knew my front brakes were getting down so I replaced front brakes, checked wheel hubs and wires (all looked good) when I was done the intermittent stopped and lights are on full time now. Checked codes, 121 loss of communication with ABS control module. Checked fuses and ground. Now I am unsure of what to try?

Haven't repaired yet but more codes now. U0073. Speedometer is bouncing around and transmission shifting funny sometimes?

Opps, that is a bad sign. I am thinking the ABS controller is out. I would try a used one so you can plug and play. But first check all fuses here is a guide.
