A lot of repairers have the equipment to plug in and it will tell you which sensor is the problem.

So if I happen to get one from the wrecker, it would have to be off a au1 I presume.
Or are they interchangable throughout au-ba etc. Which I highly doubt.

just go and get the repaired item that eXi7wOunD spoke of
they are a bargain.. and most wreckers will want to sell you teh entire abs unit not just the module

mine has been broken for a while now (Ford scan tool says it cant connect to the module.. due to either failure or lack of power..
theres power getting to the plug that goes in the bum of it... so it is just dead..

my TCS and ABS lights remain on 24/7 nowadays:(.. but doesnt bother me too much

its the black plastic part that is on the end of your ABS pump (on series 1)

the wires all go in 1 side of it.. you pull the pull tab and it enables the plug to be removed

just try and get the module off(unbolts from the pump) without removing the lines otherwise you need to bleed the brakes etc
