ABS pump

[Duplicolor]

hey tuners
recently i've been hearing a grinding sound coming from the ABS pump also the light seems to never want to come off, can anyone tell me what may be the prob and can locate me to someone really good an reasonable to do a scan or what not

thanks

location in south or central

brake pads are worn through
leak in the brake system
Worn or uneven brake linings or a damaged brake line

ok kool

as soon as the car is turned on or parked up idling you hear it

Hmmm...
Masterserv... Cipero St.

Or it have a place in Marabella.. I believe it's Sookdeo .. something..

how would worn brake pads cause the abs pump to mind a grinding noise?

[Oleander]

friction

??????????? care to elaborate on that

some ppl need to only read in the tech forum and not post.

Friction is when two objects rub or slide over one another. Friction slows motion down. It keeps objects from moving. Smooth surfaces make less friction. A rough surface makes more friction. Friction can cause problems. Too much friction can make heavy objects hard to move. Too much friction can also wear things down. Too little friction can also cause problems like on wet, slippery roads.

When you apply the brakes, the friction material in the pads will act as a damper and the nose will stop. This noise can also only be heard when you make a right or left-handed turn. So then when these pads are worn friction from metal-to-metal would cause a grinding sound...

You know.. if you know better maybe you should put it in the post rather that telling everyone that your panties are too tight... I am not always right and I am not afraid to say it..
This is Tech Stuff not Ole talk..so take your bs to there..

Too Low pads wud make a grinding noise, but how does it make d abs pump make a grinding noise..can u correlate d two...unless u tryin to say dat low pads make d fluid level drop and thus les fluid to flow through pump..hence less lubrication on moving parts with pump..and volia..grinding noise... ..Duplicolor, u sure d noise is from ur abs pump? I thought dat pump only activates during ABS operation...

well that what i was wondering so i was just trying to understand what he saying there by friction..no need to flex up lol because to me normal brake operation is friction so i dont understand how that affecting the abs pump

Under normal operation (when the ABS turns on when a wheel slips under braking) the pump does come on and make a noise. In my car (a b14) the sound the pump makes when it turns on is a sort of 'grinding' noise but this is normal. The only other time that the pump comes on is when the car reaches 6km/h for the first time after its switched on (ABS self-test feature), and even here the pump only comes on for a second or so. Ah doh think that worn pads will trigger the ABS pump .
