ABS problems

My abs light came on... the light on the computer blinks 9 times and stops; does anyone have the FSM chart on what that means?? I think that its a relay in the engine compartment, but Im not sure if its the valve relay or the motor relay...

Whatever it is; for some reason the only noticeable problem (other than the light on the dash) is an obnoxious buzzing coming from the abs motor on the passenger side of the engine compartment. The buzzing only happens when the engine is off. and it never stops; i've had to remove the abs fuse in order to get it to not hum when the car is off. There's nothing to stop it from draining my battery.

That buzzing can happen from time to time. Disconnect the battery and if it goes away when you reconnect. It is just stuck. The buzzing is present whether it is on or off.

You will probably end up replacing the stuck ABS relay. A slight tap on the relay will stop the buzzing in the meantime.
