Me thinks, all that's left is a wiring problem ie the signal from the DVS isn't getting to the pump or isn't over-riding the run signal.
It's probably the pump continuously running that's generating the alarm.
Just a thought that isn't based on any technical expertise.
I'd be really p**sed as you are because over here the guys that do the 6 monthly WOF checks wouldn't give it a road worthy pass.

I think Peter T is right , its a relay locked on!.... the points can weld together as the pump uses high current.

I don't have a lot of experience with the TRC on Soarers but could one of the sensors be stuck, try unplugging the TRC fuse and see if it stops the pump.

I removed the TRAC fuse and the pump kept running and a dash alarm came up.
I refitted it and removed the 40amp ABS no 2 fuse or relay (not sure which it is as it looks like a relay) and the pump stopped. Tried a 60amp from another circuit and the pump started up again and wouldn't stop so put it back together again. There is also an 60amp ABS no 1 relay or fuse, but it won't come out. seems to be held in someway. I originally thought it had welded itself in and this was the problem but none of the similar fuse/relays next to it will come out either. Must be another relay somewhere that activates the pump, but I have no idea where to look for it

I received the brake accumulator from peter, havent had time putting it i yet as ive had appointments one after another.

Now i have been reading through the threads about the abs/traction relay.

I turned the car off, accumulator pump still running, i pulled out relay after relay without and difference except when i pulled out the green one for traction control.

i pulled out The trac/abs relay and the pump stopped.
Would this relay have been my problem all along?

Can anyone tell me if this relay has gone or what.

Try putting power to the relay (two wires from the battery) and see if it clicks, if it does its most likely working as it should if not then its probably jammed.

It might be a problem with the ABS controller.
