ABS Return Flow Pump Runs Without Control

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) return flow pump running without control with corresponding fault code C1401, clean and insulate the connector for the return flow pump relay. Refer to WIS document GF42.30-P-0003-09B.

Note:
Due to standardization of the ABS wire harness for both the Bosch and ITT systems, the plug for the return flow pump is not assigned on ITT systems. As such, oxidation can occur within the plug causing the return flow pump in the ABS hydraulic unit to start.
