yep, youve got it john, the lines you were referring to on the top of the module are the hydraulic lines for the brakes. if you unplug that connector i show in the first photo, there are a bunch of pins/connectors, finding the proper one and cutting or bending it will prevent the abs light from coming on

i highly doubt a dealership would do something like that... easiest way to tell if they fixed it properly is to find a dirt, gravel or snow covered road with nobody around and nothing to run into.. get the vx up to about 25-30 mph and slam on the brakes

you should feel feedback in the pedal, like a pulsing. it will feel like the pedal is trying to push itself back out and you will hear a very rapid tapping sound that almost sounds like grinding, thats the abs kicking in

if you dont feel that feedback or during the stop the vx back of the vx feels like its moving, you probably dont have abs and you should raise hell with the dealership

on a related topic. does anyone know if the abs operates just on the wheel thats slipping or if it balances between all the wheels? i had to make an emergency stop yesterday and to avoid getting hit by the guy behind me i veered half onto the gravel shoulder, so passenger tires were on gravel, drivers were on dry pavement, definitely felt the abs kick in but to my surprise the vx stopped straight and didnt try to spin or anything
