Default car dies when stomped on brakes

So I did the ABS module fix as I kept getting error messages and all my resistance readings from sensors were fine, and my code readout pointed to the module itself.

Bled brakes afterwards and then took for a ride. At speed ~30, ABS engaged.
At speed 50, brakes locked and burned rubber on the road and engine died.

Pulled over, restarted engine and drove on.

Tried ~30 mph again and ABS ok. Have not tried faster.

Anyone know why engine would die?

Did you disconnect the battery before working on the module? If not, I hope there is no permanent damage. If you did, I am just as confused as you. I assume there are no codes.

I did not think it was that uncommon for the engine to stall under extremely hard sudden braking. At least I recall this happening to me with other cars in the past.
