So I replaced the ABS Module with one from a salvage yard that they guaranteed good with 6 month warranty, cleared everything, did the neutral memorization, and now the code which returned is ABS 51-01.

Online I keep reading that it is an ABS pump motor failure/error, which seems possible, but My code reader gives me 11 possibilities if I understand it correctly, and that is 11 on the list. It’s an Innova 3150D reader.

Since I’m new to reading codes I’m not sure I understand this. 51-01 should mean the error is a code 51, and does the 01 mean that it is the first option on the list?

#1 is tire pressure sensor registration error. I don’t think I have tire pressure senors, or at least I haven’t ever found anything about it having them in the papers I have, or when I had new tires put on.

Do any of you have experience with this system, and could it be something else causing that code, but not creating the correct code?

I don’t know anything about Honda things or your code reader. But I can think of three things that I would check first and foremost. Power to the pump. Ground at the pump. Finally, that the installed used part is the same part number as the original unit since there can be internal differences even though the outside looks identical.

You will need an accurate wiring diagram, a digital multi meter, and perhaps most importantly at least a basic understanding of electrical circuits. Depending on your skill level this may be a job for a professional. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a shot at it yourself.

hmm...I didn’t really read every number on the new module. I should probably go dig in the trash...

I understand the basics of electricity. It irritates me, but I get it. Part of me is wondering if the connector didn’t lock in quite right.

I was wondering about the power, I was reading that alternator issues can mess these up.

Can you clear the codes with one of these readers? I haven’t gotten a reader yet, but I’ve got a bunch of lights on after repairs because AutoZone says they can’t clear them, and I should probably splurge for one eventually.

I can clear codes with it including ABS and SRS. It just came with one sheet of paper explaining how to use it, and it has multiple languages on it. So it doesn’t really explain all the capabilities of the reader.
