Pinpoint Test C - Solenoid Valve

  1. Check System Integrity

    Visually inspect all wiring, harness connectors, brake lines and components for wear, damage or overheating. If faults are found, repair as necessary. If no faults are found, go to next step.
  2. Solenoid Valve (SV) Signal Check

    Ensure ABS control module is connected. Turn ignition on. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between ground and ABS control module connector Yellow/White wire. If voltage is momentarily more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, repair Yellow/White wire between ABS relay and ABS control module.
  3. Solenoid Valve (SV) Check At ABS Control Module

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect ABS control module. ABS control module is located behind left cowl side trim panel. On all models, set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure and record resistance between each of following ABS module connector wire terminals. See CHECKING SOLENOID CIRCUIT RESISTANCE  table. If resistances are about 3 ohms, go to PINPOINT TEST H  . If any resistance is not about 3 ohms, go to next step.

    Left Rear Solenoid Yellow/White & Brown
    Right Front Solenoid Yellow/White & Blue/Orange
    Right Rear Solenoid Yellow/White & Black/Yellow
  4. Solenoid Valve (SV) Check At Hydraulic Actuator Assembly

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect hydraulic actuator assembly connector. See Fig 1 . Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure and record resistance between each terminal of hydraulic actuator assembly connector. See ACTUATOR RESISTANCE TEST  table. If all resistances are about 3 ohms, repair wires between ABS control module and hydraulic actuator assembly connector. If any resistance is not about 3 ohms, replace hydraulic actuator assembly.
