How do I do that? I removed the 30AMP fuse from under the hood and used a paperclip to touch both contacts. Nothing happened.

Just an update...

I also called my mechanic and they said the error code 53 is most likely an ABS pump replacement. So I went to the local auto wrecker and pulled a pump out of a 2002 Accord, paid $85 for it, and then when I got back to the car I noticed a pool of brake fluid by the rear driver's side tire. I checked the brake fluid and it was empty. When I started the car, both the ABS and Brake Fluid lights were now on. When I got home I filled the brake fluid and drove around for 5 minutes. Both the ABS and Brake Fluid lights went out, and have been out since.

Tomorrow I am going to replace the rear driver's side caliper (it's still leaking) and see if the ABS light stays off. It seems the ABS code has to do with the leaking brake caliper.

I will post an update after the caliper is replaced. I had to replace the rear passenger side caliper a month ago because it was leaking.
