Welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like an issue with the hydraulic control unit for the ABS. It could be something as simple as corrosion on the electrical connection or the module itself could be bad. Here is the problem, I would like to tell you to just disconnect and check the connection pins, but before that is done, you need to upload the module configuration to a scanner so it can be downloaded when power is restored.

Normally, I would suggest checking it yourself, but in this case, it requires specialized tooling.

I attached a picture below of the component I am referring to and circled the unit and highlighted the connection.

Please feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Take care,
Joe
