Yea I don't buy it either. The ABS pump only engages when a sensor tells it that a wheel is "locked" in that event a normally open detent in the abs module closes fluid to said "locked wheel. The pump then sends more fluid/pressure to the wheels that are not "locked"
So even if the pump was plugged (which i can almost guarantee its not) that wouldn't explain why its falsely engaging in the first place.
