Default 93 Accord ABS Wiring

Greetings all!

Here's my current situation:
  • 1993 Accord Coupe with ABS dash light illuminated
  • ABS trouble code is 1-2 which means a problem with the pump motor circuit
  • Found a troubleshooting flow sheet online (see attached)
  • Checked the pump relay; works properly
  • Connected No. 1 and No. 8 terminals using a jumper wire; pump motor does not run
  • Checked for voltage between No. 8 terminal and body ground; confirmed battery voltage
  • Disconnected 2 pin connector for pump motor
  • Checked voltage between No. 1 (WHT/BLU) terminal and body ground; NO battery voltage
Suggestion is to "repair open in WHT/BLU wire between the motor relay and pump motor".

What does this mean exactly? What am looking for?

I've done simple wiring in my home, but I'm a novice at automotive electrical. Any assistance will be appreciated!

Maybe I can ask a different question:

Is it possible that my ABS pump still works and this could be a wiring issue?

Note: The brake fluid reservoir for the ABS pump is still full, and there are no signs of leaks.

It's absolutely possible this is a wiring issue, which is implied by the t'shooting steps.

The inference from the phrase you quote is: Test for a break in the WHT/BLU wire between the motor relay and pump motor. A continuity check between the two terminal ends of the WHT/BLU wire is in order, followed by a resistance check of this same conductor. If both tests are inconclusive, prepare a jumper wire and insert into the back of each pin in each connector and evaluate.
