How do you reset the ABS pump? It always sounds as if it is going to begin pumping while driving down the road. The rear brakes seem to grab when the brakes are applied, the ABS pump seems to activate itself.

Chances are there is a bad wheel speed sensor or the ABS pump relay is stuck on.

Here is a guide to help us get the codes to see what we need to replace:
