Description
The anti lock brake system (abs) pressure/warning switch may exhibit brake fluid seepage which eventually can lead to loss of the brake system hydraulic pump motor.  Additionally, the hydraulic pump motor and abs electrical relays may have been exposed to water contamination during vehicle assembly.  This condition can cause loss of the hydraulic pump motor and/or loss of the abs function.
