  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 Black diagnostic connector No. 2 on left side of engine compartment. Using a jumper wire, connect diagnostic switch terminal to ground terminal of diagnostic connector No. 2. See Figure .
  3. If using an analog voltmeter, connect voltmeter positive probe to positive battery terminal and negative probe to diagnostic output terminal. See Figure .
  4. 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 1 . Each DTC is repeated 3 times.
  5. 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.
