Re: That FREAKIN" ABS Again!
Over the last 4 years, I have replaced 2 ABS sensors individually and now just had to replace the entire Power brake controller. It appears that the manufacturer (Meritor) placed the computer ECU, 2 accumulators, and both hydraulic pumps on one unit that is not individually serviceable. So, if only one pump goes out (or a ECU board, or 1 accumulator, etc) then the entire assembly needs to get replaced. Dealer part cost is $3300 plus 3.5 hours labor plus 1 hour diagnosis. With tax, shipping, etc, welcome to a $5k bill !!! Fortunately I got the part number and saved myself $1,000 in total but still way too expensive IMHO.
