ABS/VSC etc lit up like Christmas lights on the dash
I wonder what it could be? Note that there is no CEL. Did a search and another guy said a relay needed to be replaced. Crossing my fingers it's not anything more. It's at the dealership as of tonight.
We'll see.

They said some type of ABS ECU costs around $6K. This may need replacing. Yikes.
But they also said my brake fluid was showing a little low so I had them do a complete brake flush. My brakes feel firmer now? I had adjusted the height the day the xmas tree appeared and I understand the suspension uses the same brake fluid to operate the height mechanism?
They reset everything and hoping it stays unannounced. I had no idea these ECU parts were so darn pricey.

1. Goto Autozone get the Fault codes ( it is free )
2. Once you get them put it on this forum, we can help you from there.
3. It is a very rare that the ABS ECU fries, the dealer or whoever said that has to be dumb. Without even trouble shooting and getting the Exact data frames from the ECU , you can't conclude the diagnosis and say the ECU needs replacement. Absolute bull story. ( maybe try another dealer you will get another story)
4. Buy this p/n from the dealer - 09843-18040 ( it a SST tool - wires just plain and simple) $5-6 it cost max.
would advise once you get the codes and the stuff. Good luck, Dont break your head.!!
