Glad to help, just hope it is what you need to get everything fixed. I have been in the same situation and members on the forum have come to my aid, so it is the least I can do to return the favors I have received.

Best of luck and let us know if you get it fixed

Not sure about up in Canada but here in the US a lot of the auto parts stores have a hand held scanner capable of reading the ABS code. You might want to call around and then next time the light is on, swing into one, and have them read it. That way you know what wheel to focus on or if it's something like a bad ground for the EBCM/pump.

lol!!! are you asking me if im having a bad day? no, i wasn't. i was just pointing out that i told you to check grounds before is all. i left the cool smiley guy at the bottom so you didnt assume i was mad or anything. glad you got it figured out. the hub systems on the montes are a pain in the ****. and when it comes time to buy new hubs...spend the money on the expensive ones with the longer warrantys...its worth it. ask anyone here

no problem,yes I've read that most people on this forum recommend timken bearings,which I agree,but the best I can do locally,unless I order them from another province,is moog hub bearings,with a 3 year warranty,for about $230.00 a piece,or skf bearings with a 1 year warranty,obviously I'd go with the moog for the warranty,what would you recommend?

moog is a great brand yes and if you have the money to buy them sure. but a brand that i feel is just as good and half the price is Timkin. autozone sells them. they have a 3 year warranty as well. ive had good luck with these so far.
