Default abs relay problems

helping a mate source an abs fault, the abs warning light is on all the time, the wheel sensors are all ok,
gone back to the abs relay, the fuse is fine (20a) attacehed to the relay, power in is fine through the relay, there just appears to be no switched feed to power the relay on and latch it?
anyone come across this fault before?
have read the wiring diagram via autodata and the component test section and the wiring diagram appear to have conflicting information...........

Cant you run a switched live to the relay as a test? If you can take a pic of the relay and post it up I can see if I still have a spare kicking around to post to you as it might just need a relay swap?

I should think that is correct, as the pump does not run continuously and is switched via the pressure switch.

Moreover, if this were faulty you would have no pressure!

How have you determined the sensors are ok?
