Abs light perminately on

(1/2) > >>

rhino-force:
I know there is a link to abs problems but i'm thick  :embarrassed: and wanted to explain the situation from the start and hope that i can get answers in simples terms.
My disco is a 1997 300tdi
I bought it around a month ago with the ABS light on. The guy i bought it from told me it needed a new pump and gave me one with it that came off a perfectly good abs system.
The day before i changed the pump i called him and asked how he came to the descision that it was the pump and nothing else.
He told me that he checked the sensors and they were fine, he then had it plugged into a diaognosic machine which only came with one code. This was the code for abs pump.
I changed the pump anyway and still the light is on.
I'm guessing now this has to be switched off to clear the fault. I had it plugged into the latest snap on solaris diaognostic tool which would not connect with the car.
Can i reset this manually and does this need doing via the ecu or the abs plug?

Help would be appreciated and please remember i am think lol

denzil:
Have you checked the pump fuse and relay?. The relay can be bridged to check to see if the pump is OK. I would take it to a independant  landrover garage and get the fault codes read it will save you a lot of time.

rhino-force:
where are these

denzil:
On mine the relay is behind the glove box, remove the glove box and look on the bulkhead you will see some relays and
acu's.But I believe on some models the relay's are behind the footwell kick panels.

rhino-force:
do you know what colour it is and which terminals to bridge?
