Author Topic: 09 Jazz 1.4 i-shift ABS Pump continuously running (Read 1007 times)

Apologies if this is elsewhere on the forum.

A few weeks ago the ABS pump started running or be intermittently whilst driving. It then stopped, 4 weeks later it's back. Whether at standstill or driving the pump will run. ABS MIL functions as should and has not indicated a fault. Has anyone come across this and any ideas on a possible fault to chase. Thanks in advance.

Bit of feedback as no replies. Continuous running of ABS pump continued, along with new issue of intermittent Power steering and transmission MIL coming on. Even though vehicle would start OK, turned out to be low voltage. New battery fitted, charging was/is OK and presto all fixed.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback, quite a few posts on forum with mysterious power steering and other problems being caused by a failing battery, seems to be the first thing to check - certainly if you are not sure of age of battery and its history. Power steering alone can draw IIRC 40 amps on Mk2, the power of motor was uprated after experience with MK1 EPS and some niggles about its operation.

Hi Spike,
Glad to see it's sorted - which battery did you buy?

Thanks.
