ABC malfunction notice on dash
Just popped up on my dash while driving home.
fluid seems fine.
what are the chances it’s the strut (that seems hard to find) vs something else…abc pump, Pulsation Damper/Accumulator
car is still drivable (ala not sagging enough to be rubbing/touching.
started looking incase it’s the strut and seems i maybe have to go rebuilt. Any one used RMT rebuilt struts?

How does the car ride? Mileage?
Ideally I would scan the car with XENTRY, but your best bet will be to scan the car if there are no obvious signs of parts failure.
