Vehicle came in to shop with no brake lights, ABS and Trac light, no and communication with ABS module. replace the module with new one, programmed, all worked fine. It worked fine for about twenty minutes, then no brake lights and no communication. Someone said in a post that maybe have pinched wire from front fuse panel and front bumper.

Yes, that is what it sounds like. I would do a pin to pin to confirm the failure check resistance to ground on all data lines. Here is a a guide and the wiring diagrams:

Check all connectors for corrosion as well. Check out the diagrams (below).Please let us know what you find.

Found the problem, There were two ground connections between right front fuse panel and headlamp that were loose. Thanks for the information.
