ABS code 52

4WRXter

Skier!
This is a looooooooooooong story. I am going to try to keep it short and concise.

I have the ABS light on. I took it to a local shop. He said at first it was a front right wheel sensor, which he replaced. Then, he said the ABS light came on when he shifted into reverse. And the code 52 came up. He got 2 used control module/motors, installed them and still had the light and code. He said there was constant 12v power, and ignition power at the harness that plugs into the control module. He applied power to the motor, directly from the battery to confirm that turned. At this point he kinda gave up.

When I got the car back, I checked the ABS fuse behind the "coin storage". I looked for any other fuse in the engine bay.

I am probably going to end up taking the car to Evergreen to put on the special scanner. I talked to Shorty a little about all this. I just thought if someone knew of something simple to check. I read something on NASIOC about applying power to the ABS relay to make sure that clicks. Can someone tell me, show me (picture?) where that relay may be?

Thanks for anything.

 
did he check for a good ground??? relay should be under the hood.....which car are we talking about

 
Yeah, sorry, I was out of town without my laptop. Subarude is right, '02 WRX. I meant to put that at the end of my first post. I believe the mechanic said he checked for ground. At this point I don't remember exactly everything he said.

Matt, can you tell me which terminal of the plug that goes into the control module should be the ground? I should be able to check from that terminal to the frame with an ohmmeter for a closed loop/circuit.?.?

 
yeah, ive got a print out at work of the entire wiring harness for the abs for it as well as a pin point test for the diag procedure....i just havnt been able to get it home.....are you near scarborough/portland area??? you can just swing by and get it if it makes it easier?

 
Scarborough/Portland is a 3hr (one way) "swing by" for me. I'll wait to see what you can get for me, Matt. THANKS!!!!!
