Got a new battery for the vehicle and started the vehicle. Noticed the ABS light come on. Took it to dealer, and they indicated that the ABS module and pressure limit valve needed to be replaced. This has happened two times. The other time the ABS light came on, took it to the dealer and was told that the wiring harness was pinched between the speed sensor and frame.
