There are not many web sites that offer the amount helpful diagnostic tips and instruction as this place.
The past few days I had a pesky fault code with my ABS pump.
I dreaded even contemplating the idea of addressing a "used" ABS unit versus the expense of a rebuilt assembly from a dealership.
I hunted through pages of old threads concerning my specific DTC.
One particular thread caught my attention.
NOTE: DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL REPAIR.
I pulled the two (2) fuses on top of the battery (S179 & S178). They tested OK with my meter just as mentioned in the forum thread. However,also as mentioned in the thread, the terminals of the fuses were oxidized white. I use some emery cloth to clean the fuse terminals and some electrical contact cleaner to flush the fuse receptacles.
I used my little hobby air compressor to blow out any excess liquid cleaner from the fuse holders and reinstalled the two fuses.
Today... no more ABS fault codes !~
