Default manually cycling ABS pump '00 c5

I'm getting a 1255HC code. I haven't torn into it yet, but tonight I'm going to flush the system and check all the grounds. I was wondering if there is a thread somewhere that shows how to jump the ABS pump to force it to cycle. I did a search last night until my eyes bled and I understand that getting a new module is pretty much out of the question. The car is for track only, so I will have to learn to live without the ABS. I think before I spend $800 on a used module, I'd get a DRM proportioning valve.

The only way I have heard of is with a Tech II.

It's just a 12v pump, surely there must be some way to jump a wire straight from the battery to get it to cycle?

There is a way. I read somewhere here about jumping two wires together to have it cycle.

You can jack the back up and run it in gear and the pump should run.

Hmm, great question, I did add information about the process and the success. Cannot understand where that information went?
Well, I will figure it out.

2000 Corvette
First sharpened a piece of welding rod to connect/pierce into the Green Wire on the pump. Used my battery charger on the 2 amp setting. Once contact from the charger to the rod the motor started, I repeated the process three times at
three minute intervals. Rod got hot until amp
draw dropped to less 5. Your instructions are
Excellent! Now the ABS works!
