Default ABS Malfunction Help

Hey All,
Been a while since I posted, just been lovin my S4. ABS threw a light, showed up on VAG as
"Rough Road Spec Engine Torque ABS-ECU Electrical Malfunction" Anyone know if this is a wheel sensor or control unit? Any help would be great. Thanks

Does your brake light flash and you get 3 beeps also? How long has this been going on? Do you get any communication errors from VAG-COM with the module? I rebuild these modules, and this is one of the common fault errors indicating that a module needs to be rebuilt. But if this is a one time thing, it could just mean that you lost traction at some point.

Sounds like my module needs to be rebuilt, it has been staying on and doing the three beep thing, It is having communication errors as well. So any next step recommendations? Thanks for replying. I was thinking no one else was having ABS issues out there.
