Toyota Camry ABS module replacement issues

Replaced the ABS module on my 2009 Camry with a rebuild from Rock Auto (numbers matched). This is the second module replacement, drove car 20 miles and same issues started- dash goes crazy (tach and speedometer go crazy etc). Anyone have any advice on what else could be causing this or what else I can check??

I would advise the old school Toyota "wiggle" test. So start the car and then have someone wiggle and tap on the connector and the brake control module. If this happened with 2 of them the original and the replacement in short order I suspect the harness or connector. You have to remember we are dealing with a CAN bus so anything that disrupts communication between the dash, the abs module and the main engine control unit will make crazy things happen!

If it is just a bad connector you can always find a way to keep tension on it. That connector has more pins that an Amish Quilt Party so I would imagine it rarely gets replaced and is expensive prob. an entire harness.

So at any rate do the wiggle test first!
