Causes
- Open or broken power supply wire to pump motor
- Blown fuse or faulty pump motor relay
- Corroded/loose connector at pump motor or module
- Failed pump motor (open winding)
- Poor or open ground connection
- Faulty ABS/traction control module (driver/fuse output)
Symptoms
- ABS warning lamp illuminated
- Traction/stability warning lamp may also illuminate
- ABS pump does not run when system commands it (no pump noise)
- Loss of ABS/traction function while driving
- Possible stored additional ABS/traction DTCs
What to check
- Retrieve stored ABS/traction codes and freeze frame data with a capable scan tool
- Visually inspect pump motor connector, wiring harness, and associated fuses/relays for damage or corrosion
- Check relevant ABS/traction fuses and relays for continuity and correct operation
- Backprobe pump motor power and ground connector while commanding pump ON with a scan tool
- Measure resistance of pump motor windings with motor disconnected
- Verify ground continuity from pump motor ground to chassis/battery negative
Signal parameters
- Supply voltage at pump power pin: approx. battery voltage (~11–14 V) when key on and relay closed (model-dependent)
- Control signal: may be switched battery or module-driven relay; some systems use PWM control — duty cycle varies when commanded
- Pump motor winding resistance (typical range): very low ohms (motor-specific); an open reading indicates open winding — consult service data for exact value
- Expected current draw when pump runs: several amps (can be high; use a clamp meter) — abnormally low or zero current indicates open circuit
- Ground continuity: near 0 Ω between pump ground and chassis/battery negative
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all ABS/traction DTCs and freeze frame data with a scan tool; note related codes.
- Visually inspect fuses, pump relay, pump connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
- With ignition ON, check the pump power fuse for continuity and verify relay operation. Replace suspect fuses/relays.
- Backprobe the pump power and ground pins at the pump connector. Command the pump ON with a scan tool and observe voltage at power pin (should be battery voltage when commanded).
- If no voltage at the pump pin when commanded, trace wiring back to relay/module: check for voltage at relay output and at the module relay driver. Repair open circuit or connector fault.
- If voltage is present at the pump connector but pump does not run, disconnect connector and measure motor winding resistance. An open (infinite) reading indicates a failed pump motor.
- If motor is open, bench-test or apply fused 12 V directly to the motor (observe safety and secure motor) to confirm motor operation; replace pump assembly if motor confirmed open or seized.
- If motor and wiring check OK, suspect ABS control module output or internal relay—verify module outputs per manufacturer procedure; replace or repair module only after confirming wiring and motor integrity.
- Clear codes and perform an ABS system self-test/road test to confirm repair.
- Advise customer about potential repair complexity and perform final verification of system readiness.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or faulty pump relay
- Open/damaged power or ground conductor at pump harness
- Corroded or disconnected pump motor connector
- Failed pump motor with open winding
Fault status
Status
Pump motor circuit open — ABS/traction pump not receiving power or control. ABS/traction warning(s) present.
