ABS and/or ESC warning lamp illuminated on the dash
Reduced ABS functionality or no ABS on the affected wheel
Possible longer stopping distances under heavy braking
Brake pedal may feel different (pulsation or altered feedback) during ABS events
ABS active warning during driving or after wet conditions

Read and record all ABS/ESP codes with a suitable diagnostic scanner; capture freeze frame data
Visually inspect wiring harness and connector at the right front discharge valve for damage, corrosion, or water ingress
Check ABS fuses and relays related to the pump/modulator
Perform an actuator/bi-directional test of the valve using manufacturer scan tool (if available)
Verify brake fluid level and condition; look for external hydraulic leaks at the modulator and lines

Command signal from ABS module to valve (PWM or switched voltage) — should be present when actuator test is commanded
Coil continuity/resistance of valve solenoid — must show continuity within manufacturer spec
Supply voltage to ABS modulator (battery voltage) with ignition ON
Ground continuity for ABS module and valve connector
Wheel speed sensors correlation for right front wheel during test drive

Connect a qualified diagnostic scanner, read all stored and pending ABS/ESP codes and note freeze-frame/live-data.
Clear the code and attempt to re-run the test to confirm repeatability. If code does not return, monitor vehicle behavior and re-scan.
Visually inspect the right front discharge valve connector and wiring for corrosion, damaged insulation, pins pushed out, or moisture. Repair as required.
Check ABS system fuses/relays and ensure proper power/ground to the ABS modulator.
With ignition ON, use the scan tool to command the right front valve. Observe module responses and listen/feel for valve activity. Do not perform unsafe tests on a vehicle lift without following safety procedures.
Measure coil resistance and continuity at the valve connector (refer to service manual for pin locations). Replace valve/modulator if open circuit or out of spec.
Probe for command voltage from the ABS module while commanding the valve. If module commands but valve does not respond and wiring is intact, suspect valve failure or hydraulic seizure.
If wiring and valve check good but fault persists, consider ABS module internal driver fault or intermittent wiring; perform wiggle tests while monitoring live data and replace module only after confirming root cause.
After repairs, clear codes, bleed brakes if hydraulic work was performed, and road test to verify proper ABS operation and that code does not return.
