Hope someone can assist: our 90 Legacy with 140,00 kilometres has the ABS warning light on. My shade tree mechanic (very good, but not a Subaru specialist) finds a code reading #9. According to his 'puter, this can mean either the ABS relay (relatively cheap, I presume), or it can mean a new ABS pump/motor.
My mechanic, an honest bloke, says it can take hours of diagnostics (hence, expense) to determine which it is: Anyone have experience with this? Are the relays prone to malfunction more than the pumps? I hate to just guess, but I am inclining toward putting in a new relay and see whether that fixes it or not...If not, then I might scout around for a used ABS pump.... Thanks for your advice if possible. tom carney vancouver canada
