Hey Guys,
Hope everyone is doing well. I for one, have been able to get after a number of NSX projects I've been putting off! steering tie rod and endlink, new rear fender liners, front radiator air guide, ect.
HOWEVER, the ABS has got me stumped. After pouring over pages and pages of stuck solenoid treads (Dano, Kaz, ect) and I did all the typical fuse checks, trigger and solenoid flush methods without success. I then tripped over a post from midnight blue on http://www.nsxcb.co.ukhere and it aligned with exactly what I was experiencing. New to that forum so no posting or messaging ability yet... Pump runs at 6mph and times out but if jumped and solenoids are triggered, no fluid movement or drop in fluid levels within the reservoir.
Decided to pull off the pump and check it out and here's what I found. Within the 'relief valve' (?) (not shown exploded but within the #10 grouping in the exploded parts diagram here), there is a floating plunger of sorts but here's where it gets fun, upon removing I noticed it was jammed at a slight angle as seen here. Took some effort to separate the two pieces, but once it did, I attempted to put them back together and sure enough they stuck/ snapped together again. As seen it the video, at about 11 o'clock mark you can see a slight flat spot in the lip.
Now I'm curious if this is an intended design or perhaps this one became damaged? Looking into the bore, there appears to be a slight scare on the wall likey from the crooked valve seen here. Before I attempt to separate the pump motor from the pump I wanted to gather any thoughts the community had. much appreciated!
Part numbers here should anyone need them.<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc ;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>
