Default DIY replacement of the ABS module?

Hey guys,

The ABS/AdvanceTrac lights on my 2010 GT are all lit up. I thought it was a wheel sensor but I scanned it and the code is coming back as a Dynamic Stability Control Valve. After a bit of research it seems like this problem can be remedied by replacing the ABS module.

So anyway, the question I have for you guys is whether or not I can replace the ABS module myself without having to re-code or update anything computer related. Has anyone done this job? Is it a R/R or does it require a computer update from a shop or the dealer? Thanks for the help!

You cant service this one at home. Dealer only for the programing of that module plus I don't think the module is whats bad. But it maybe a complete assembly if the Valve really did fail.

Thanks, jackal. I figured as much. Guess I'll have to make an appointment with the dealer

The code I got was C1958 - Dynamic Stability Control Valve LF Circuit Failure. From what I can tell from researching online and glancing at the alldata stuff online, the most likely culprit is the ABS module. Seems like that part is known to go bad in these cars. I sure hope it isn't the complete assembly!
