Special Tool(s)



Worldwide Diagnostic System Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) 418-F224, New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester 418-F052, or equivalent scan tool
73 Digital Multimeter or 73 Digital Multimeter or equivalent 105-R0051

Principles of Operation

The anti-lock brake control module receives wheel speed readings from each anti-lock brake sensor and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The anti-lock brake sensor electrically senses each tooth of the anti-lock brake sensor indicators as it passes through the anti-lock brake sensor's magnetic field.

The anti-lock brake control module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of each wheel, and when it detects an impending wheel lock, modulates hydraulic brake pressure to the appropriate brake caliper. This is accomplished by the anti-lock brake control module triggering the hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate solenoid valves. Once the affected wheel returns to normal speed, the anti-lock brake control module returns the solenoid valves to their normal position, and normal (base) braking resumes.

The anti-lock brake control module is self-monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the anti-lock brake control module will do a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately 12 km/h (8 mph) the pump motor is turned on for approximately one half-second. Any malfunction of the ABS will cause the ABS to shut off and the yellow ABS warning indicator to illuminate, however, normal power assisted braking remains.

The ABS control module has the ability to store multiple DTCs in memory.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

Electrical
  • Low brake fluid
  • Anti-lock brake sensor
  • Anti-lock brake sensor indicator
  • Base brake system
  • Central junction box (CJB)Fuse:
  • 15 (10A)
  • 29 (15A)
  • 33 (15A)
  • 35 (15A)
  • Battery junction box (BJB) Fuse:
  • ABS 1 (50A)
  • ABS 2 (20A)
  • Circuitry
  • Damaged or corroded connectors
  • Yellow ABS warning indicator
  • Loose grounds

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

1. Check that the program card is correctly installed.

2. Check the connections to the vehicle.

3. Check the ignition switch position.

4. If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool Manual.

5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the scan tool responds with:

1. CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP.

2. NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the anti-lock brake control module, Go To Pinpoint Test A .

3. SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the anti-lock brake control module.

6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Reference Chart to continue diagnostics.

7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index

NOTE: If a wheel speed signal fault or a pump motor fault is detected, the yellow ABS warning indicator cannot be reset with the key OFF and key ON method. The vehicle must be driven over 12 km/h (8 mph) for the anti-lock brake control module to carry out a re-check of the system before the yellow ABS warning indicator is turned OFF.
