    Just be very sure your mechanic has the diagnosis right on this one.

    The light being on ususlly reflects a wheel sensor being gone (but could be many other things). How did the mechanic diagnose the pump?

    Maybe just get him to explain to you how he came to this conclusion... Just make sure he is confident he has the problem captured properly.

    Bring it to a diagnostics specialist for a second opinion.
