ABS light / C1342 code

Intermittently, the parking brake/ABS light comes on with no pattern I can put my finger on. Some times its on when I start it and stays on the entire time I drive it. Some times its off when I start it and then comes on while I'm driving it. This morning I took it by Advance auto and had them check for codes while the light was on: C1342 - ABS control module. I can't find a lot of information about this code or what can be done to fix it other than taking it to a dealer. Can anyone offer an alternative solution, perhaps re-seating the connectors to the module - and where the heck is the module and what does it look like?

Thanks in advance.

Follow the brake lines back to the ABS pump, it is the module sitting on it. Be careful to keep the mounting area clean. The code means it is bad. Usually the pump runs, fuse?
