That is a communication code. It means one of the computers is not communicating with the others. There is no way for you to diagnose this yourself without some very expensive equipment and replacing any of the modules will likely require factory programming so you're going to need the dealer on this one.

Could I diagnose this issue down to which controller unit is bad, ie.. is there a data wire out of the abs module i can test to confirm the ABS module is bad?

No, not without a factory scan tool or equivalent.
