Sadly, I speak from experience. Saab will not replace only the module - they actually pull the ABS hydraulic unit as well. Before anyone had posted the cheaper solution, I had to have our 2000 9-5 wagon repaired for this exact problem.
The only choices I had at the time were to either buy a refurbished module/ABS unit for about $500, plus install (no guarantee on how long it would last, though) or to have my local dealer do the "official" job. I managed to get Saab USA to pay for half the part, so it was a bit better, but still very expensive. If we had been the original (from new) owners of our wagon, I think that Saab might have paid for the entire part, but since we had bought it used with 38K and a year left on warranty, 1/2 of the part is the best they could do.
