    Hello!
    We finally replaced the ABS pump after a few weeks of it running constantly. We replaced the pump and bled the brakes and we are absolutely sure there is no air in the lines. Now the car won't run the pump and will constantly whine about low pressure. If you manually instruct the motor relay to run the pump it will build pressure and ABS functions perfectly. Is there any known reason why the car won't run the pump?

    Replaced with OEM or a used one? I read that the used one's randomly get this issue. Any way to scan and post codes?

    You're replacing just the pump here are you replacing the ABS actuator assembly? There's no reason the car won't run the pump check and see if the pump connections are getting power just because I imagine when you if you're changing just the pump I mean the minute you assemble the pump and plug it up it's going to come on because there's no pressure it's going to try and satisfy the accumulator pump up the system as it needs to be but if it can't stay that way pumped up in pressurized usually it's not the pump that's causing it to not be able to stay pressurized it's the pressure vessel is compromised which is the round black thing next to the pump but what do I know or there's an internal leak inside of that big aluminum block that the lines connect to usually it is referred to as internal not like something leaking at a wheel cylinder or a caliper so if you're just replacing the pump you may be I'm not moving very much forward I guess I would say hard to say because I'm not sure what you've done usually when you replace this assembly it's the actuator you say pump so you're replacing just the silver thing on the big aluminum silver block that the brake lines connect to but not the black round diameter?
