Brake and ABS light, Code 3?

I have an ABS code 3(Open dump ciruit)? Well atleast the light brinks 3 times then a pause, Wich I thought would be code 3. Does anyone know what to look for to diagnose this code?

Yep, that's a #3 code. I don't have any short cuts or common problems that would help diagnose it faster just the steps from the repair manual.
BTW: the Anti-Lock Electronic Control Module is located behind the glove box. The test connector is right under it.

Here's the steps to follow. Start at the bottom of page 1 where is says "PINPOINT TEST G"

Ok I have done all that this diagnoses calls for. I found nothing. The only thing is the RABS pin is suppose to be 3 ohms or less between pin 1 and 2 I think? Well I got 3 so might it be bad? If not I will need pinpoint test "T". Thanks for your help!

I read somewhere that if you pull out the RABS and clean it, (it is magnetic and will pickup metal shavings/dust), that this may fix your problem. It is worth a try anyway.
