Brake Fluid Leak From ABS Pump

SYMPTOM

Brake fluid leaks from the ABS pump inlet fitting.

If the leak goes undetected, it may empty the modulator reservoir, causing the ABS indicator light to come on with a Code 1 stored in the ABS control unit.

PROBABLE CAUSE

The ABS pump inlet hose fitting is cracked.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the ABS pump inlet hose fitting.

1. Record the frequencies of the radio preset buttons, and make sure you have the customer's anti-theft radio code.

2. Disconnect the battery cables, then remove the battery and battery holder.

3. Wrap a piece of cardboard around the ABS pump inlet hose (to protect the hose), then clamp the hose shut with a pair of locking pliers.





4. Loosen the inlet hose lower hose clamp and remove the hose from the fitting. Loosen the fitting bracket screw and remove the fitting from the pump.

5. Install the new fitting and O-ring from the parts set listed under PARTS INFORMATION. Retighten the bracket screw, reinstall the inlet hose, tighten the hose clamp, and remove the locking pliers.

6. Reinstall the battery holder and battery. Reconnect the battery cables.

7. Enter the anti-theft radio code in the radio. Set the preset buttons to the radio station frequencies you recorded.
