For almost one year, the ABS warning light was flashing from time to time while running. After checking, the diagnostic tool says Error #61. After I replaced the ABS Control Module, the warning light is off. It was a used Module, BTW. Even the control flashing when I turn on the ignition, is off. So, before I replace the ABS pump, I want to try the anti lock relay. It should be located on the right side of the engine compartment.
But I really did not find it. Do you have an exactly description or even better maybe a picture where to find it?
The vehicle listed above is a Wagon.

Good afternoon.

There are three relays and they are all part of either the ECBM or the hydraulic control module.

It is not serviced separately.

Flow chart for the 61 code is attached.

Okay, that is a universal relay.

As stated in the description I sent you, some models have an external relay and some did not. Yours does not. It is internal in the unit.
