Re: 97 jeep grand cherokee abs issue
we used a solus diagnostic scanner (not at an autoparts store either)...the
code was: abs code 30 - pump motor circuit bad. so, the diagnosis was
accurate. looks like i'll just get the CAB remanned and from what i've
learned that will fix the problem.
thanks

Re: 97 jeep grand cherokee abs issue
Dang, that is going to HURT! You might gamble on a salvage yard
unit? Be sure you flush every single line, nook and cranny with
fresh fluid no matter which way you decide to go. I believe Jeep
recommends DOT-4 fluid for the ABS vehicles. That is all I use in
any of my vehicles all the way back to the 60's models, it has a
little higher boiling point and is less absorbant to moisture as well.
Good Luck, Bruce
