Abs inop Had this light coming on and off for a long time. A couple years ago I replaced the FR hub and it went away for a few months (though that fixed it) but then came back. A couple months ago I had a friend hook it up to a GM Tech II to see what was going on and apparently it was the ABS module, which I then replaced. Now, the light is back on. I don't have access to a GM Tech II, but am unsure how to best proceed in getting this finally narrowed down the actual culprit so that I can replace it.
Any ingenious ideas from anyone?

I found someone to scan it for me and it's throwing another code for the FR hub, which was the one I originally replaced with a used hub from another vehicle. I did replace the ABS module with a used one as well.
When my light isn't on, I usually get the flutter and then the light comes on as well.

ive only received the light under hard braking in the rain and then once after a massive doughnut.
I think you shoulda bought a new ABS module instead of used. im not sure it if wouldve made a difference but who knows.
How do your rotors look?

replace hub with new one imo. And check wiring of the ABS module, mine used to come on and off and I found a bad wire.
But replace the hub with a new one IMO. If that doesnt fix it, return it.

I haven't visually inspected the rotors closely. New OEM hubs are expensive. I'd rather go with a used replacement, if possible. The car doesn't get much mileage put on it, so a used one shouldn't be an issue in terms of longevity.
