If you are sure that fuses and both grounds are good, all the way to the frame, then this code is either a bad connection between the ABS control module (EBCM) and the modulator valve assembly, or the EBCM or Valve assembly is bad. No relays in the system. Would need to take the assembly apart and test grounds seperately, and the wires between the 2 parts.
