I spoke to my mechanic who's jag certified and he admitted when I asked about a code that he doesn't have the tool to read a code for the ABS system and he checks the sensors through pressure and some other methods. With that, he says it's not the sensors but the ABS module. He recommends a rebuilt ABS module for $1000.00 which includes a 3 year warranty. What do you think?
I have another question. If I purchase an extended warranty they will do an inspection Will the problem with the sensor appear if the ABS light on the dash is not illuminated? You guys are great.

Yes MA, if there has been a code 'thrown' by the wheel sensor, it will be stored in the car and will show up on a code reader until it is manually cleared, even if currently the ABS light is not on. My AutoEnginuity scanner reads the ABS codes, and after my DSC lit up while driving along at highway speeds, I found the code next time I scanned it. I believe one of my wheel sensors is going on me as well, it just isn't a frequent problem as of yet. Since I cleared all my stinking codes already (w/o letting my jag service guy see them), it hasn't reappeared. I recommend you let the Jag dealer diagnose that one for you first before you spend $1k on a module, and then find out the wheel sensor is still at fault. One good thing about these cars, the codes can be, in this instance very tell-tale of the exact cause. This is my opinion though.
