Answer:
Sounds like you are getting code C1246. This code refers to a condition where the Brake Control
Module (EBCM) cannot control the ABS channel to the rear brakes. This is usually caused by an
ABS motor pack problem, or a gear has come loose on the bottom of the motor pack. Some
diagnostics with a computer scan tools that can control the ABS system is needed.

pontiac grand amIs a abs motor pack the same thing as a abs module because they are like $600-$1000. And I found one at a junk yard for $50 bucks? Thanks a lot!!!!
The motor pack and the modulator assembly are 2 different parts. But at the junk yard, they may still be bolted together and sold a unit.
