Hi, I bought a 2000 740il which wasn't running for almost a year because the alternator needed to be replaced so after I towed it to the shop and have the alternator and some belts replaced and the battery recharged I got a message on the dashboard "Trans Failsafe Prog" the car was taken to a trans center and they said nothing is wrong with it but it might be something with the ABS module so I would like a second opinion, if the module can be replaced without having to reprogram it, also I found some info about module master, a place where they rebuilt the module. The module has been removed from the car already and before I sent it to be rebuilt i'd like to have your opinion. Thanks

Battery and alternator issues can trigger this fault message. Is battery good?
