Replaced ABS module after it ruined my battery. ABS would run even with the key out very loud. I pulled the fuse and had the module changed. I wasn't home and my wife didn't know what to do so it quickly discharged my battery beyond repair. This is an expensive part close to $900 plus $60 or so labor and a battery.
ABS module failed again on me on 04/14/11. Had to disconnect the battery to stop the motor from running, which would definitely run the battery dead over time. Then I just located and disconnected the ABS module under the driver's side. Seems to be a common problem with this year vehicle. I'm surprised there's no recall on this.
Second time the ABS module has failed on us. I notice both times it failed after putting new tires on the vehicle. Don't know if there's any correlation between the two. I like the 2001 GMC Yukon. This is the only issue we've had with it. I wonder why there hasn't been a recall on this ABS module?
Do not go to your Dealer or mechanic to fix. It'll cost you $1,200-$1,500. I'm getting the module re-machined at Module Master for under $200.00 with a 5 year warranty. Very easy site that provides directions in getting the module removed. Use the internet for fixes not just grips. :)
this problem should have been fixed under warranty. i filed a complaint with gm but they would not fix this. this part should not be going out after 56000 miles
