yeah sounds like it...even with a sensor out (abs light on) it should still exert brake pressure...

You should hear a buzzing noise from teh pump when you turn the key also.

Checked all the fuses n relays?

Hope this helps

Mine is exactly the same at the moment, and its caused by the relay, but sure any fault would cause this...

Relay is pritty easy to check, its only in the pax footwell
