As there was no info on the read-out of the ABS system, I had to go to a Ferrari shop. Seems that the 456 is not so common and not a lot info to find about technical issues. But even they were not able to do this. One dealer told me that there is no OBD read out, there is a "warning light blinking code" for diagnostic. The next dealer told me that there is a OBD read out, connected his tester and said that the ABS ECU is faulted. I was lucky to find one at Dennis McCann´s shop. Installed - same failure. I learned that this spending was
Then I found via internet a "Recall Campaign REF. 156 for the ABS Hydraulic Pump Motor" from 1997.
And here we are. The motor is sitting in the front of the car, exposed to all that comes from the road. The motor was corroded and hardly turning. Next step is to install a new bearing and new brushes. One dealer told me that´s not repairable and I have to get a new one for $5928 incl. TAX.
Hope that the small job (bearing & brushes) of about $20 will solve the problem.
Any similar experience on this ?
Any help is welcome.
