Had the three amigos appear last week but my dear wife didn't think to tell me and I only discovered them when I was checking car over for it's NCT ( MOT ) .
Had to cancel test as the ABS lamp permanently illuminated is an instant fail.
Took it up to a friends garage this evening to connect his diagnostic system to it to see if there was anything outstanding.
Well I was shocked to be confronted with,
code 001 pump failure (monitor line )
code 002 pump failure 3 (pump sticking )
code 003 shuttle valve switch failure
code004rear left inlet short to ground
code 005rear left outlet valve short to internal supply
code 006rear right outlet valve drive short to supply
code 007rear left outlet valve short to supply.
He tried to reset all fault codes but codes 1,2,and3 remained.
Now call me a bit sceptical but to have all these faults would suggest it had been the victim of a fire flood or earthquake.....
We tested the two front sensors and they came in at 0.97 ohms . The pump could be made to run when hooked up to the diag. system .
The lights come on and go off at random .
I'm awaiting a new brake switch and will check out the HDC switch + wires tomorrow but after doing a search on FL ABS failure there is nothing that mentions the ABS unit specifically failing,all the search results mentioning ABS are associated with the three amigos + brake switch and HDC switch wires.
So is the ABS pump failure a known FL issue or is Poddys diagnostic system a piece of ****e.....
