ABS Pump Motor Circuit

The ABS control module detects an electrical fault in the pump motor circuit. Without a working pump, the system cannot build hydraulic pressure for ABS or stability control interventions and disables those functions.

Affected components

  • Abs pump motor
  • Abs control module
  • Pump motor relay
  • Power supply wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pump motor seized after long inactivity
  • Medium likelihood: Pump motor relay welded or open
  • Medium likelihood: Power supply connection corroded

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically
