ABS Light Code 01276

[TDIray]

NB 1999 TDI
1 Fault Found:
01276 - ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64)
16-10 - Signal Outside Specifications - Intermittent

ABS light comes on and stays.
Vagcom shows wheels all have same speed. Brakes feel fine. Not sure if it is a sensor problem since wheels record same speed. I just had the wheels balanced when this started. I hope the pump is not bad. Some postings say check the ground. I have not done that, yet.
What should I look for besides a bad pump or ground?

Thanks

Thanks Starwarstdi,
I cleaned the electric connections and added some electric jell under the air filter box. The ABS light and code have stopped. I hope that takes care of it.

I had my abs pump replaced under warranty not long ago, 10k miles and now the car is out of warranty and I have an abs light on again. Would the replacement pump still be covered if it failed prematurely; or would VW just tell me tough luck since the car is no longer covered ?

Yes.

Or possibely, No.

Magic 8 ball says... Answer is murky.

There should be at least a years warranty on the part, but you will probably pay the labor.

Or they may tell you to go pound sand.

Or they may be a good dealer and take care of it all including getting to the actual root of the problem.

Be sure to stress to them that they just replaced the part and you need to be sure that they have found the root cause of the failure.

I had been driving around with the ABS light on for about a half year. Everytime I would go to Autozone to have the code pulled, they could not find any codes. Because of the all the snow and ice that we have had here in Indiana, finally went to dealer. They wanted to run a full diagnostic ($99), but I was able to get them to just do a "drive up courtesy code check" for free. They pulled the same code as you reference. Estimate to repair: $1638-1700 .

Went home and did some more research. Found a YouTube video that diagnosed the problem: melted fuse on top of the battery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--a6yUi9a4g). Cost to repair: $48 for a new fuse holder on ebay (with all new fuses - dealer part is twice the cost and has NO fuses). Man, I have got to open the hood more often!

PS. ABS light is out and functioning normally. I can now stop without sliding around

Just want to chime in to say my 03 Golf TDI did the same thing.

Vag-com said 01276 - 012

Pop the hood, the fuse box on top of battery melted around the ABS Pump fuse.

Last May was the coolant fan fuse (the green 30A one next door) in the same box that melted and shut off my AC.

This May is the ABS fuse.

Cleaned up the melted plastic, and it was good to go again.
