Used ABS module programming?

This code wouldn’t come on due to improper bleeding.

Sorry, I misspoke earlier about the continuity check between the steering angle sensor and ESP unit. I forgot the SAS is connected to the Electronic Power Steering ECU, which then broadcasts this info over CAN-BUS. So SAS and ESP aren’t connected directly. However, I still think it’s worth investigating if the SAS is faulty - I’d try reinstalling the original ESP and try replacing the SAS if possible.

@steve99 is right - the ESP ECUs on these cars aren’t paired to a specific vehicle or VIN. It should be plug and play assuming the replacement is also from a similar vehicle variant (same transmission, etc). Since this fault is present with both, I’d do your troubleshooting with the original unit.

Good luck, let us know if you figure it out.

@BPM did you ever figure this out? I got the C1288 code right after I flashed my car with a Moto East tune.
