Symptom Chart "E": Abs Active Light Malfunctioning

  1. Turn ignition on. If ABS ACTIVE light is illuminated constantly, go to next step. If ABS ACTIVE light is not illuminated constantly, go to step  3 .
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect 32-pin EBCM harness connector. Turn ignition on. If ABS ACTIVE light is illuminated, inspect Light Green/Red wire between instrument cluster (combination meter) and EBCM for short to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair as needed. If circuit is okay, replace instrument cluster (combination meter) printed circuit board. If ABS ACTIVE light is not illuminated, replace EBCM.
  3. Determine if BRAKE and ABS warning lights are functioning correctly. If either light is not functioning correctly, inspect and repair suspect circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If both lights are functioning correctly, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect 32-pin EBCM harness connector and 13-pin instrument cluster (combination meter) harness connector G11. Check for proper terminal contact of Light Green/Red wire between 32-pin EBCM harness connector terminal No. 20 and 13-pin instrument cluster (combination meter) harness connector G11 terminal No. 8. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair as needed. If circuit is okay, inspect ABS ACTIVE light bulb. Replace as needed. If bulb is okay, go to next step.
  5. Measure resistance of Light Green/Red wire between 32-pin EBCM harness connector terminal No. 20 and 13-pin instrument cluster (combination meter) harness connector G11 terminal No. 8. If resistance is 2 ohms or less, check printed circuit board and replace as needed. If circuit board is okay, replace EBCM. If resistance is not 2 ohms or less, repair open or high resistance in Light Green/Red wire between EBCM and instrument cluster (combination meter). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
