Causes
- Blown fuse for ABS pump motor power
- Faulty ABS pump motor
- Failed pump motor relay or driver
- Open, shorted, or high-resistance wiring/connectors between module and pump
- Corroded or poor ground connection
- Faulty ABS control module (driver output)
Symptoms
- ABS and/or traction control warning lamp illuminated
- ABS not available message on dash (vehicle-dependent)
- Pump does not run when commanded (active test)
- Unusual brake pedal feel during ABS events or during prolonged braking
- ABS may not activate during wheel slip, leading to loss of ABS/traction function
- Possible fuse or relay overheating smell (in severe faults)
What to check
- Retrieve freeze frame data and full DTC list with a scan tool; note any related codes
- Perform visual inspection of pump motor, wiring harness, connectors, and grounds for corrosion, damage, or loose pins
- Check pump motor fuse and ABS relay for continuity and correct operation
- Use scan tool to command pump motor (actuator/active test) and observe response
- With key ON (engine off), measure supply voltage at pump power pin and ground continuity at pump connector
- Measure motor resistance at connector (with battery disconnected) and compare to vehicle specification where available
Signal parameters
- Pump power (battery) pin: ~11–14 V with ignition ON (vehicle-specific)
- Ground continuity: close to 0 Ω from pump ground to chassis ground (vehicle-specific)
- Pump motor resistance: typically low (a few ohms) — exact spec vehicle-specific
- Pump motor operating current: several amps when running; can be 5–20 A depending on vehicle (check manufacturer spec)
- Control output from ABS module: switched 12 V or PWM/ground-switched driver when commanded (verify with oscilloscope/scan tool)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Record all ABS/related codes and freeze frame data with a scan tool
- Perform visual inspection of pump, connectors, wiring, and grounds for corrosion, damage, or loose terminals
- Check ABS pump motor fuse and relay; replace if blown/faulty and retest
- With battery connected and ignition ON, measure battery voltage at pump power pin; if low or absent, trace and repair power feed
- Command pump motor with scan tool; if pump runs and code clears, retest and monitor for recurrence
- If no power at pump pin but fuse/relay OK, test relay coil and control circuit (verify module driver output)
- Disconnect pump connector, measure motor resistance to ground (with battery disconnected); if open or infinite, replace or bench-test pump motor
- If motor has low resistance but does not run when powered, bench-test motor with a fused 12 V supply to verify operation
- If motor draws excessive current or is locked, replace pump assembly
- If wiring and pump check OK, suspect ABS control module driver fault; verify module grounds and power, consult manufacturer repair procedures before replacement
- After repairs, clear codes, perform ABS system readiness/bleeding if hydraulic work was done, and road test to confirm proper ABS operation
Likely causes
- Blown motor power fuse or faulty relay
- Corroded connector at pump or module
- Open/short in harness between ABS control module and pump motor
- Failed/locked pump motor drawing excessive current
- Faulty ABS module driver transistor
Fault status
Status
C1314 — ABS pump motor circuit failure (open/short/high resistance or driver fault). ABS/traction warning illuminated; pump may not operate when commanded.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-3.0 hours
