ok, process of elimination....must be a 2000 or earlier. Based on the 1293 and P1571 code, you probably hosed something up on the EBTCM in the course of pulling the rack, unbolting the EBTCM, etc. Check the harness connectors, etc.

yep, 97, so much for that code analysis. For future reference, it helps if you fill out your sig.

My 97 has a persistent 1571 that is not related to ABS/Trac light I think there is a TSB about this code in early models.

RDCM is right door control module, also not related

rfa is not related.

So it's the 1293 throwing the light. If it goes out when you shutdown/restart the car, it might not be a problem. At least that's what the manual says.
