I just bought a new ABS unit, $150 from a junkyard. What exactly do i have to do to install just the
controller half (the part with the circuit boards)? Is it just a plug and play type deal or do i have to jump through more hoops to get this thing to work. I've read that you have to readjust the steering wheel sensor and put in some "soft codes" but i think this only applies if you have ESP, which i don't have. TIA

My guess is that you can just plug it in. If the light proves out I think you will be ok. If there
is a software issue the light will not go out. You could try plugging up the new/used module up to the harness and cycle the key on to check if it proves out. It does not have to be plugged up to the 2 pin pump motor connector.

There is a login and recode that is required. Maybe even a steering sensor recal.
The login and recode are engine/tranny specific. I have the procedure (my tech made me copies of their service manual).
email if you want it.
