Thank you! When I asked the shop if they pulled any codes he told me something like “the ABS codes are tricky because they aren’t retained when you restart the car so we weren’t able to see the original codes” which sounds like hogwash to me but I’m 1,200 miles away and know nothing about the shop o...
