Hello everyone! I just joined and have a question for anyone who can assist.
I have an OBS 2000 K2500 5.7L Vin R crew cab 4x4.
I am having trouble getting my OBDII to connect (there is power) and provide me with codes for a check engine light. I took it into the Chevy dealer and they have been going from module to module trying to diagnose why it won’t connect. They finally noted after 2 days that it is a bad EBCM (electronic brake control module) (abs control module same thing?) part# 12474923. They noted that when it was unplugged, boom everything started working again.
They noted that this part is discontinued and they cannot get it. My question is can I simply leave the abs module unplugged without issues occurring. When I asked them they said that it would cause problems as it is used as a circuit so if disabled it will cause issues. But with it unplugged they said the obd2 worked.
I just want to be able to read the trouble codes, fix those issues, and get my truck running great again.
Any help would be much appreciated
