📝 ABS Module Replacement | Central Configuration Relearn| 2015 Mazda3

• When replacing an ABS Module with a used unit, it will complain about vehicle’s Cental Configuration being incorrect.
  • In my particular case it has also complained about having no communication with the TCM, because this car had a manual transmission (no TCM). 
• Tried to download a correct As Built data into a used module, but it was the same as already programmed into it.
• To program it I had to perform “Module Initialization / Relearn from Central Configuration” function.
  • That cleared all the codes and the ABS light.
