Question s320 abs problems please help

I am having the dreaded ABS/BAS/ASR lights on all the time, I attempted to find the fault with a DIY decoder but failed as it appears I may have a digital system.I traced the feed wires of the abs pump to the connector on the ASR/PML module (I think they are the right ones) and found the red wire had a high resistance and only showed 10 volts at the pump.I made a temporary lead to the pump fom the module and the pump worked, but does not turn off with the ignition.I cannot find any relays in the fusebox or in the module box to see if one is faulty, so I assume the pump is fed from the ASR/PML module directly and the module is at fault.Any help or ideas or even a circuit diagram would be gratefully appreciated,many thanks:
