The code 18 is for "accumulator gas leakage" Which if I remember correctly this refers to a gas cylinder mounted onto the ABS block, you can't miss it. It has 2 o-rings on it that can fail.
An older model, but same idea.
What do you mean by the pickups? I've check all the wheel sensors and those seem to be fine.
Where on the accumulator are the 2 o-rings located and how would I go about replacing them? I'm thinking that's my problem because the code and when I start my car I hear a buzzing sound coming from the ABS system, due to it losing pressure. A user on here had the instructions on how to replace the o-rings but I can't find it
