was having problems with my RABS (, so I pulled the 20amp fuse under the dash until I had time. So put it back in to troubleshoot, and noticed that the ABS light would come on after about 10 seconds, and it would brake erratically, and make a noise like something was locking up...

Pulled the codes, six short and one long flash and repeating (does that count as six or seven flashes?). six is erratic speed sensor, I changed it out, and it says the same thing, and has the same symptoms while braking. What gives?

Six short and one long is seven.

"No Isolation Valve Self-Test".

The isolation valve is the first one in line, closest to the master cylinder as the fluid flows.

If you pulled fuse then if there is a code stored, its still there, I would put fuse back in and start vehicle to to see whats what on dash lights. Shut it off and disconnect the battery and let it sit for 5 minutes, It drains the memory and all computer codes set back to default. Reconnect and start vehicle, Then if a light comes back on then check for codes.
