| FAA_A1 | ABS stands for anti-lock braking system. ABS reduces the risk of skidding by maintaining traction in an evasive or abrupt braking situation. ABS can also be an integral part of a vehicle’s electronic stability control system. |
| FAA_A2 | Wheel speed sensors that become contaminated with debris from the road or braking system and sensor wiring that becomes damaged can result in intermittent or no feedback signals to the ABS control module. |
| FAA_A3 | The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle’s antilock braking system. The diagnostics processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure on a wheel that is about to lock up and start skidding. |
| FAA_A4 | Road debris, salt and water intrusion are the most common causes of failure for the ABS control module. |
| FAA_A5 | The ABS Control Module is also known as an Electronic Brake Control Module or Skid Control ECU. If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the microprocessor may also be called the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM). |
| FAA_A6 | The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) illuminates the ABS indicator when the ABS control module detects an ABS-disabling malfunction. This is done when the IPC receives a Class 2 message from the ABS control module requesting illumination. The IPC will also illuminate the ABS indicator when it detects a loss of Class 2 communications with the ABS control module. |

Explore our in-stock catalog of CARDONE remanufactured components at AutoNation’s Aftermarket Store. Since releasing its first product — a remanufactured wiper motor — in 1970, CARDONE has grown into one of the industry's largest remanufacturers, offering over 46,000 SKUs across brakes, drivetrain, electronics, fuel/air, motors, pumps, and steering, each rebuilt from an O.E. core and tested to match original performance.
- O.E. Core Rebuilding Process: Every unit starts as an original-equipment core, is disassembled, inspected, and renewed — with weak solder points 100% reflowed and motor magnets 100% recharged before final testing against O.E. specifications.
- Component-Level & Full-Function Testing: Main components (armature, field, bearings, parking switch, or pulse board where applicable) are individually tested or gauged against O.E. standards, then the finished unit is tested for every function it performs on the vehicle.
- Lower Environmental Impact: CARDONE states its remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed versus producing a new part by roughly 80%.

Frequently Asked Questions for ABS Control Module
What does "remanufactured" mean, and is it as good as a new part?
A remanufactured part starts life as an original-equipment core that's fully disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt to original specifications — worn components like bearings and solder joints are replaced or restored, and magnets are recharged. Each CARDONE unit is tested against O.E. standards both component-by-component and as a finished assembly, so it's built to deliver the same performance as the original part, often at a lower cost than new.
What is a core charge, and how do I get it back?
Many CARDONE remanufactured parts carry a core charge — a deposit added at checkout that's refunded when you return your old, failed part (the "core") to be remanufactured into a future product. Check the product page for 12-10257 to see if a core charge applies, and follow the return instructions included with your order to get that deposit back.
Why does my wiper motor stop in the middle of the windshield instead of parking properly?
On motors without hidden wiper blades, this is usually caused by crank arm position — adjusting the crank arm angle on the motor shaft will correct where the wipers park. Vehicles with a "hidden park" feature may need a specific reset procedure; check your vehicle's service manual for the exact steps.
I installed a new wiper motor but reused my old washer pump, and it doesn't work. Is the motor defective?
Not necessarily. Some wiper motor systems won't operate correctly if the washer pump itself is faulty, since the two components can be electrically linked. Bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump separately before assuming the new motor is defective.
