which relays are for the abs. Is it the 2 purple ones. The abs light is just coming straight on when the ignition is switched on. Does the abs pump only prime up when the car is first started. I had this fault a few months ago,i had a look at the relays n fuses and abs ecu. The light went off and i thought i had fixed it.

If there was a faulty abs sensor would the light just stay on from when the ignition was switched on.

The pump primes when the system pressure drops below 105 BAR, pumping the pedal with ignition on should run the pump though (As does it when your driving along).

Jon@work is the person to speak to.

It does sound like a sensor issue tbh, btw the system is exactly the same as used on Lesser models and Granadas if needing parts, diagrams etc (Tevas)

ABS sensor will only bring the light on above 5mph IIRC as the car has to move for the ECU to check the sensors.

Yeh i was thinking that. I had a fault with the osf abs sensor last year. The light used to go off then when i started to drive the car the light would come on.

this may be of use


ELECTRO-VALVE TESTS

All tests performed with ABS ECU unplugged and ignition switched OFF unless stated otherwise.

Resistance Test 1
-- Connect ohmmeter between ECU connector terminals 1 and 11
-- Resistance should be lower than 1 ohm
-- If value is not correct, check for continuity between ECU connector terminal 11 and electro-valve connector terminal 7 (brown wire), and check that terminal 7 on the electro-valve (corresponding with the brown wire) is earthed.

Resistance Test 2
-- Connect ohmmeter between ECU connector terminals :

11 and 15
11 and 17
11 and 35
11 and 33
11 and 16
11 and 34

-- Resistance for each electro-valve should be between 3 and 7 ohms.
-- If not, remove connector from electro-valve, and check resistance between the following electro-valve terminals (the brown wire is terminal 7):

1 & 7 (LH front inlet valve)
2 & 7 (LH front outlet valve)
3 & 7 (rear inlet valve)
4 & 7 (rear outlet valve)
5 & 7 (RH front outlet valve)
6 & 7 (RH front inlet valve)

-- If one of the values is not correct (3 to 7 ohms), replace electro-valve/master cylinder assembly.
-- If the values are correct, check for continuity between control electro-valve connector and ECU connector.

ABS ECU connector terminal 15 & electro-valve terminal 1
ABS ECU connector terminal 34 & electro-valve terminal 2
ABS ECU connector terminal 17 & electro-valve terminal 3
ABS ECU connector terminal 33 & electro-valve terminal 4
ABS ECU connector terminal 16 & electro-valve terminal 5
ABS ECU connector terminal 35 & electro-valve terminal 6


Operation Test
IMPORTANT : Do not energize electro-valves for more than 60 sec.
-- Jack up vehicle to turn wheels.
-- Switch Ignition to position I
-- Wait for ABS pump to stop
-- Switch ignition OFF
-- Connect short jumper wire between ECU connector terminals 2 & 8
-- To test left front wheel valves, connect short jumper wires between ECU connector terminals 3 and 16 and 35. Depress brake pedal to lock wheel. If ignition now switched to position II, wheel should be free to rotate.
-- Repeat test for right front wheel, using short jumper wires between ECU connector terminals 3 and 15 and 34.
-- Repeat test for rear wheels, using short jumper wires between ECU connector terminals 3 and 17 and 33.
-- If one of these checks is not correct, but the wiring checks out OK, replace electro-valve assembly.

My old memory says check the simple stuff .. connectors loose ? under rear seat corners and front chassis legs tops is there locations ....


Waggle test .. to check for them at the fail limit on connectors ... from memory they should resistance check .8 ohm to 1.4ohm as a running range


Fluid level just wrong ( Pump brake pedal 30 times to de-pressurise- ign off , switch ign on system let system it pressure up =True level) or fluid boiling losing brake losing pressure


Warped discs all, cv joints funky on front 4x4 ... all sensor heads clean ? no rust sticking to them, pick up rings corroded .. remove sensors carefully they snap at the hubs


Goodluck
