abs break light is on
went to the auto parts store and they checked for codes it gave us two the first one was c1230 abs differential speed sensor, the second was p0606 engine control module /powertrain control module processor alternator. Starting @ thre bottom I replaced the speed sensor but the "abs light" is still on . can anyone help me trouble shooting the secone code ?
thanks

in the front hubs there are the abs sensors. when you take your calipers off there in the backside of the hubs. Check those for broken wires and a loose connection follow the wire yup each sides brakelines and you will find the connector.

Yes I checked these out and they look o.k. the code c1230 was for the rear differential speed sensor which was replaced.I guess I need information on how to trouble shoot the p0606 (engine control module/ powertrain control module preocessor alternator). Thank you for the reply.

P0606 - PCM / ECM Processor Fault
OBD-II DTC Technical Description
PCM / ECM Processor Fault
What does that mean?
This code is a fairly simple one. It basically means that the PCM/ECM (powertrain/engine control module) has detected an internal integrity fault in the PCM. When this code is activated it should store freeze-frame data that helps someone with an advanced code scanning tool to get information on exactly what was going on with the vehicle when the P0606 code was triggered.
Symptoms
Most likely the only symptom of a P0606 DTC code is the illumination of the "Check Engine Light" a.k.a. MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp).
Causes
In all likelyhood the PCM / ECM has failed.
Possible Solutions
As a vehicle owner there is little you can do to fix this code. The most common fix for a P0606 code is to replace the PCM, although in some cases re-flashing the PCM with updated software could possibly fix this. Be sure to check for TSB's on your vehicle (Technical Service Bulletins).
In all likelyhood the fix is to replace the PCM. This is generally not a "do-it-yourself" task, although in some cases it may be. We strongly recommend you have a qualified repair shop / technician do the work, one that has the capability to reprogram the new PCM. Installing the new PCM may involve using special tools to program the vehicle's VIN (vehicle identification number) and/or anti-theft information (PATS, etc.).
NOTE: This repair may be covered under the emissions warranty so be sure to check with your dealer as this may be covered beyond the bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranty period.

happened to my 97 all abs wires looked good, but we pulled codes and it pointed to my right hand speed sensor was bad. it was also bad that my abs would randomly kick in whenever i would hit the break at slow speeds on flat surfaces...
