Hi folks, in a bit of a situation here. I've got an intermittent ABS light on, and after following the
instructions
to read the code, I'm presented with code 61: "ABS Pump motor circuit". I've had a look at the wiring, and it seems fine, I followed a
service manual
to trouble shoot it and checked it was getting the voltage it should be, and it was. A bit of googling lead me to
this
post on here, where the solution seemed to be to replace it. For the record, it's a Japanese built 04 hard top, with the non-vvt M13a and the abs pump is marked Denso 81A1.
Only problem is, I can't find one anywhere. Ebay has nothing and I got in touch with BB autos, who don't have anything. I've found a few places that claim to rebuild them, but they're expensive and I'd have to take the car off the road for a week or so while it's away.
It also occurred to me that I may be able to convert to the newer pump, while it's can of worms plumbing and wiring wise, the controller is on the pump so it's probably possible. I'd rather not though.
Any ideas on sourcing a replacement or fixing the one I've got? Also, why are they not available? Are they a common failure point? I'm sure ABS was mandatory by 2004, so there should be a few years of jimny that have them. Ah well, any help is much appreciated.
