Fabia vRS 2006 ABS issue (VCDS)

[RallyeSport77]

Help required.

 

Hooked the Fabia vRS up to VCDS this afternoon, new fault has become apparent, 03 ABS brakes, wont communicate with VCDS, its tried intermittently, I got through to measurement blocks, only to then find error comes up in the various blocks I check, which initially look to work.

No instrument lights come on when it tries to connect, unlike say if you connect to airbag the airbag instrument warning lamp comes on.
 

I unavoidably went through some water after it rained the other day, which was as high as the underside of the car, so I’m guessing I might have water ingress possibly?  I’ve checked fuse 4, 7, 10 and 25 and all are good, I’ve had no issues whatsoever in the past, and nothing came up on the dash to tell me there was a problem until I plugged in VCDS.

 

 I saw from another Facebook page user that he had had issues with VCDS and had reinstalled the VCDS software, I’ve done the same, but is still the same.

 

Are there any further checks I can do?  And how do I get to the ABS module plug to see if there’s any water in the plug, I know it lives under the air box, is the plug accessible to check or is it an air filter off job?  Can someone give me an idea as to how to get to it, or this might be the fault?
 

Any help would be appreciated?
