1 ABS Relay - How can I test it? Tue Nov 11, 2014 3:26 pm

Here's my dilemma.
I fitted a new battery (Odyssey) a couple of weeks ago. After about 4 days in the garage without use the battery was pretty much flat. I recovered it again with an Optimate, but there was clearly a drain somewhere. After searching on here I read that a faulty ABS relay could be the culprit. I got a 2nd hand one from Motorworks cheaply and since then the battery doesn't appear to be discharging - all good, however the ABS lights are still flashing. The reset has no effect.
Refering to Toshi's site it appears to indicate an error code 6 - defective ABS relay or weak battery. The battery is OK and Im assuming the relay is OK.
Can the relay be tested?
Any other possibilities?
