==========================

You've fallen in among thieves. Incompetent ones at that. The tone rings 
are probably just dirty or the sensor got some junk on it during the 
service. The ABS system has diagnostic 'blink' codes that should have 
told them what to fix first.

A Honda dealer would have had you fixed and out for a one hour charge.

Your ABS module is just as likely to fail as your main 'computer'(ECU).
