Shortly after I replaced a RF wheel bearing the ABS, brake & traction control alarms illuminated and ?Service Traction Control/Service Stabilitrak/Traction Control Off? displayed on Driver Information Center Screen. Traction Control would not engage. Remote Start would not work.
A service center diagnostic showed no output from the RF brake sensor, which is integral to the wheel bearing, so I replaced the RF wheel bearing again.
Alarms continued to display.
I ordered a replacement ABS Control Module from RockAuto.
Alarms continued to display after install - apparently the wrong part.
I sent the original ABS Control Module to MAS (My Auto Solutions) in Duluth, GA (www.myairbags.com) for repair. 
All faults cleared after the repaired ABS Control Module was installed.
MAS is the way to go. Very quick turn-around. $89.00 repair cost - $111.00 w/shipping.

CAUTION - RockAuto would not accept the new ABS Control Module back.  Now I?m stuck with a perfectly good part (that cost me $280.99 and is completely useless for my vehicle) because RockAuto failed to provide enough data in the ?qualifying vehicle information? on their parts description.  There was no mention of the vehicle GVWR data or Parts ID sticker data which was necessary to order the correct part.  Because I wasn?t aware of that, RockAuto refuses to do a refund. 
Unless you?re an auto parts specialist, or a professionally trained mechanic, avoid ordering parts from RockAuto.  Instead, go to a local parts store that cares enough to make certain that you get the right part in the first place.
