Using Voltmeter Or ABS Warning Light

  1. Perform ABS bulb check. See ABS WARNING LIGHT CHECK  . If ABS warning light does not operate as described, go to appropriate test under TROUBLE SHOOTING  . If ABS warning light is okay, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Locate diagnostic connectors No. 1 and 2 in engine compartment fuse/relay block. Using a jumper wire, connect diagnostic connector No. 2 diagnostic switch terminal (Violet wire) to diagnostic connector No. 1 ground terminal. See Fig 1 .
  3. If using an analog voltmeter, connect negative voltmeter probe to diagnostic connector No. 2 diagnostic output terminal (Gray/Red wire) and positive voltmeter probe to battery positive terminal. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition on. Watch voltmeter for needle deflection and count needle sweeps. If using ABS warning light, read and record flashes of ABS warning light. See Fig 2 . Each DTC is repeated 3 times.
  4. If a fault is indicated, go to appropriate DTC circuit test. See ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX  table. If no DTCs are output, go to TEST D: NO OUTPUT FROM DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR  under TROUBLE SHOOTING. After recording all DTCs, turn ignition off and remove jumper wire. Disconnect analog voltmeter probes, if used.
