ABS Light on and Scanner Won't Pull Any Codes

My ABS light has been on for about a month or two now and I decided to go get the code scanned so I can figure out how much the repair will cost so the annoying light will go away and traction control will work when my GF drives her.

I went to my mechanic (he has a huge fancy scanner that requires two hands :bigthumbsup) but I scanned multiple times on ABS and it just kept attempting to connect with no connection. My mechanic said check for ABS fuses so I will be doing this later along with relays. Any other ideas?

Also, I went to the main menu and selected "scan all systems" and this is what came up (I have no idea what it means and neither did he)

"Cluster Memory Code: U1262 SCP Data Fault For J1850 BUS"<--:?:
and
"B1353 Ignition Key-In Circuit Open" <- I assume this is because the key was in "on" position.

ok, that light on can be a few things
1) Low brake fluid
2) Bad ABS sensor
3) Bad ABS module

ya I remember you mentioned that on my other thread about one wheel kind of chirping but my fluids fine. by ABS sensor do you mean the wheel speed sensor?

Does his scanner have the ability to do a network self test? Do you know if the module is communicating ?

It said it was connected but when I would do a self test it would just continue saying it was trying to connect. What do you mean "network self test"? I did a "scan all systems" and the ABS self test. Is this what you mean? I'm not used to fancy scanners. My scanner just tells me a CEL code and I search the code on the internet.

yes..or it can be the ABS module itself...you have to take it to someone that can scan the ABS system

do a search for light flash codes..it gives some information..

heres a section from manual on abs testing

2manystangs, I did take it to someone with a scanner. a $4,000 scanner at that. when it tries to read it just sits on the "trying to connect" screen

if you opened my link..visual inspection pg 2..step 5 1/2 says see 418-00..and pin point test A..test a says connector c141 its a typo should be c135

this is check for power and grounds at abs

mcn 418-00

A self test check to see if all the modules are the car are communicating. This will let u know if there is a code stored and is why the abs lamp is on. Or is can be on if the ABS module isn't communicating. If u can't pull codes chances are its down. And next step is to check power and ground to the module.

yes, I've tried to say that before...if the module itself is shot you cannot scan the system...I know, mine is out right now

Ya I know it's definitely a possibility that the module is down. Just hoping its not. I don't need ABS or trac. control but I would like it for when my gf drives it... if I ever feel ballsy enough to let her haha. she has more of a lead foot than I do. or maybe I just use it at better times.

Did this end up being a bad ABS module? How did the key - in circuit code come in to play?

Haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Weird thing is a few days ago it was like 20 degrees out and the abs light went off. once the engine compartment warmed up though and i assume the module defrosted the light came back on. Other than that no new news on it.
