ABS Module to MM now No Power Steering, No Speedometer & CEL, normal?
A few years back I sent my ABS module to MM for repairs and was very pleased with the service. Unfortunately the ABS problem came back and just removed the module again to send it to MM for warranty work. The 1st time I removed the module I did not know how to remove just the module so I drained and removed the pump with module. Obviously during that period I did not drive the car. This time I removed just the module thanks to the video on this forum. I have read that there is no problem driving the car without the module and all I should get is all the ABS related lights which I already had but my experience is a little different. Here is what I got along with the ABS lights, lost power steering, No speedometer and got a Check Engine Light is this normal? I don't think the removal of the module would affect those component but not entirely sure. Thanks in advance.

That should not be the case at all. I think there's some other issue that occurring that's causing your speedometer, CEL, etc...
Do you have a vag-com to see if there's any issues which present themselves.

I removed my module but did not drive it while it was removed. I removed it without removing the pump. When I did that I did read anothe member saying that all that is normal while driving it with the module removed. I'll try and find the post...

I will scan today and see what I get.
Thanks for your input but just wanted to make sure the other issues are not related to the ABS module removal, sounds like it is not. The thing is that all of the described issues started right after module removal. Oh, forgot to mention that I also got the headlight motors warning light too. Very weird but I will see what I get when I scan it later on.

Thanks for the input. Have not had a chance to scan yet but today I got a new one. If I Mat it, the gas gauge drops and I get the low gas light. Once I ease off the gauge goes back to normal and everything is normal as far as the gas situation is concerned, weird. Can't wait to get the module back.
