Description of the problem | Abs light came on when backing out of driveway. Drove 3 miles to a meeting. When ignition turned off the light went out but i could hear a hum. Unable to locate source of hum. Spent 5 hours in meeting and hum was still present. Car started ok but abs light came back on. Late in day so i took to local firestone service. They determined it was the abs pump. It was so hot it blistered my finger when i touched it. Tapped on pump housing to get it to go off but no success. Only way to stop pump was to remove fuse from fuseblock under hood. I am glad i discovered this. If it had been my wife the car most likely would have been put back in our garage without notice of the hum. May have caught fire. Are there any examples of this model, or other models having same or similar abs pump and abs computer, catching fire? There is something wrong with the circuit logic. It should "fail safe", i. E. Detect this malfunction and disconnect power. The part has not been removed; it has just been disabled by removing fuse. |
