ABS Module Repair Hey guys, been knocking out some repairs on my 2000 M6 SS for the past few months and wanted to share a good experience I had. Since the day i've purchased my car it had the intermittent ABS INOP/ASR OFF lights coming on. Of course I was thinking wheel speed sensors until finally they stayed on along with Brake and Service Vehicle Soon lights. Before tackling the wheel speed sensors I went ahead and tried to have it scanned and found that the module had no communication at the OBD2 plug. After doing some homework on LS1tech (thanks for being a wealth of knowledge) I started thinking it was time to repair/replace the module.
Replacements even at Rock Auto were $400+ bucks and I didnt feel like taking a gamble on a used one. I sent mine off to http://www.myairbags.com/ (hope link is ok?) via they're EBAY page and decided $45 would be worth the try. These guys are good, emailed me all the details on shipping and what would happen, they emailed when it arrived and emailed when it left they're office (within the 24hr time frame stated). It was sent back with two day shipping which was great. I popped in the repaired module and immediately the Brake and Service Vehicle Soon light went away so that's a good start. I scanned for codes and just had a Clutch Switch code due to Tick Master so I cleared out the codes and drove for an hour. After starting the car a few times now the ASR OFF and ABS INOP lights are gone and have stayed off for the past couple days so far. Really hoping the wheel speed sensors wont trigger those again. All in all i'm a happy camper and they're repair fixed more than I though, I highly suggest giving them a shot if your car can be down for a few days.
No more codes after two years of fighting with it.

You should be able to use a paper clip to jump the connector for the clutch depression switch to get rid of the light.
My memory escapes me, but on my 98 the clutch depression switch is wired in line with the brake pedal switch. I can't remember if there are two switches, one for the cruise control and one for the starter depression switch
