Default Another ABS question - VAG cannot communicate with my ABS module, but I don't get a light and ABS...
works fine whenver I try it. Is is it risky to just leave it alone, or should I be looking at MM as well?

It's the OEM Symphony II. Can this be relevant?

Nah, not if it's factory. Some after marker radios can interfere.

Default Bulbs burned out, lol?
Honestly, it could have a partial failure and this is the forerunner to it kicking the bucket all together.

I'm really not sure beyond that.

so can some stock radios. I had one that was the cause of a VAGCOM communication error.

Default does VAGCOM work OK on the ECM and other modules?
try unplugging the ABS module and see if that helps.

Default How would unplugging the very module he needs to check help him out?
If anything, he should disconnect the radio.
