Anybody got an answer for this? I've got the same code too now. Where's the ground wire for the ABS pump?

This all depends on what year your car is. The circuit shown here applies to the 01-04 cars and the pump motor ground circuit is shown as a couple of leads that come out of the BPMV and go into the EBCM and circuit 1250 that goes from the EBCM to G103. The switch in the EBCM could be faulty as well.



I believe Bill Curlee posted a picture of the connections between the BPMV and the EBCM. A search may bring them up.

There is a complete diagnostic procedure attached to this post.
