Septu301 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hello! I have a 2003 Outback R Premium Pack 3GEN Auto AWD MY04, I have taken it to both an independent mechanic and the Subaru dealership in the town across from me. Both have come to the conclusion that the abs module/pump (part number 27596AG010) is stuffed. Subaru so far have been the only ones to have the solution but it comes with a hefty $6000 price tag and it's honestly worth more than the car itself at this point. I have had absolutely no luck in trying to track down an exact match for the module/pump combo, my mission today is to try and track down Bosch and see what they can do for it but my question for you guys, is there any difference between this 27596AG010 and this pump/module 27536AG010? Which I can find lot's of on the internet for about $150. They look similar in regards to where the holes and stuff are but I honestly have no idea what I am looking at. I have attached pictures of the one I have found vs the one currently in the car. Any help here is always appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septu301 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 The only noticeable change on my end has been that they are really hard to press. Not so hard that it's impossible to drive, just enough for me to know it's not how they were before. The auto electrician had a couple of problems trying to get the computer to access the abs module, what he ended up showing me was the abs module sending and receiving signals from the brakes without the brakes being touched at all. His conclusion was the ABS module is stuffed. Then when I took it to Subaru they just came out and said the ABS module is stuffed, they didn't give me a print out or a diagnostic or anything to go with it. The reason this is a big issue is because the ABS light is on the dash and I cannot get it a roadworthy in Queensland with any lights on the dash.

montana tom Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This is a long shot for you but worth checking. On two different outback's I had a persistent abs light. Code reading said the main unit was "stuffed". or up the creek. There is a ground wire for that whole unit. I believe it originally was bolted under part of the P.S. tank. I have found this ground moved and loose and not moved but also loose. Both cases caused a main unit failure code but the fix was as simple as cleaning and tightening a ground. Take a look it won't take long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
