ABS Works, but making funny sound

(1/2) > >>

Mud_Medic:
Hi Guys.

I have been lurking for a while, but his is my first time posting, please be gentle with me  :oops:

I have a 2001 V8 Disco with traction control/abs/HDC and all the other clever stuff the brakes do, and this all works.

The interesting - nay worring - thing is, the ABS pump makes a constant quiet clicking sound when the engine is not running. Infact it is there 24/7 (well I have not checked at 3am!). It even does this when the vehicle has been left for a week or more.

I have pulled the fuse for the ABS and it stops. There is a current of about 150ma going through the fuse all the time.

I don't want to have to dig deep for a new pump, as the system still works, but I want it to be working when I need it.

I value your advice.

Many thanks

Big Rich:
How long did you have the fuse removed for?

Take it out and leave for a good ten mins. It may work it may not but its an easy start and cheep fix.  :lol:

Ricky:
Can't explain why but i can put your mind at rest and say "mine does that"
Works fine and no fault codes present on the diagnostics so i wouldnt wory

Mud_Medic:
I have left the battery disconnected overnight, and as soon as i re-connected it, it made the same sound.

Thanks for the re-assurance that I am not the only one. I will just have to take into account the draw on the battery and make sure i either disconnect the battery or run/charge the battery weekly. :lol:

Many thanks

Ricky:
I dont think the draw is any worse than things like clocks,alarms ect mine has stood for many weeks at a time and still started first time i drive it.
