ABS module replacement cost and repair

ABS module replacement cost and repair

When an ABS module fails, most shop price out a new unit, and that can cost between $1,000 to $4,000. But you can send your unit off to be rebuilt for as little as $150. Rebuilding really makes ABS module replacement cost reasonable.

Don’t get stuck paying outrageous prices for new modules. Get yours rebuilt. ABS module replacement cost varies by make and model, but it’s always less than buying a new abs module. If the shop removes your abs module and sends it to a rebuilder, you’ll often wind up paying much less than a new module. Your brakes will continue to function without the abs module, you just won’t have the abs brake feature.

What goes wrong with ABS modules?

Electronic issues

The ABS module functions as a computer, processing data from wheel speed sensors. Electrical issues can disrupt communication between the module and other components.

Based on wheel lock data from the wheel speed sensors, the circuit board provides ground to each solenoid transistor driver on the circuit board. If a solenoid coil shorts to ground, it can damage the driver. Any rebuilder can replace the driver.

Solenoid Coils

ABS works by pulsing brake fluid to the wheel. The pulsing is done with solenoid valves. The most common cause of ABS module failure is a burned-out solenoid coil. Rebuilders test each coil and replace the faulty units

Excessive Moisture and Heat Exposure:

Corrosion, moisture, and extreme temperatures can harm the ABS module. Water infiltration or prolonged exposure to heat can lead to internal damage.

How much does ABS module rebuilding cost versus ABS module replacement?

Many companies charge less than $300 to rebuild your module. Call them first to make sure yours can be rebuilt. Then remove yours (usually held in place by security Torx screws), wrap it in foil and send it Express Mail Overnight to the rebuilder. The usually fix yours within 48 hours and send it back to you.

ABS module replacement cost, on the other hand can run $1,000 to as much as $4,000 depending on the make and model of your vehicle.
