Hi. Is the lamp on all the time or just above 15mph?
What Teves version is it?
Did you replace the ECU in the plastic box bolted to the pump as well?
Lamp on ALL the time could point to bad loom or broken/shorted wheel sensor, the other guys will know more.
Regards, Bruce.

Yeah, usually the pump/ECU are bundled together, just checking.
If it were my car then a wiring loom fault or shorted/open circuit wheel sensor would be my next suspect, you can check the wheel sensors for broken coil, short circuit etc with a basic multimeter at the main connector plug at the pump/ECU unit...pinouts are on the site somewhere. Hopefully one of the other guys can chime in with more info.
Regards, Bruce.

When i bought my 2.3 it had the ABS light all the time. I have checked the sensor, they where OK, i have measured the plug on the ABS was ok, so the only problem that remained was the module. I have bought one from a break yard from Germany and mounted it on the car.....same result, light on. After some time Tompion a member here discovered that there's a dry joint in the module which needs re-soldering. Sooo...
1) have a read here first:

2) If the first part doesn't help then read this:
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/abscontrollerrepair.htm
PS: both my modules had the no 2 problem.
