Has issues with the ABS control module (failed), replaced it today, cleared the old codes, now I get "B2900 ABS VIN Mismatch".
I can clear it, but as soon as I restart the car it comes back.
What's the solution?

Thanks

Good morning,

The ABS module is a programmable module and must be programmed to your VIN number to function.

You installed a used one with another VIN number programmed. You will need to take it to a shop to have it programmed to your VIN.

Once that is done and assuming it is a good module the system will start working again.
