Pinpoint Test A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE ABS MODULE

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multimeter probes.
  1. A1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE ABS MODULE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C155.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between ABS module C155-1, circuit 30-CF13 (RD), harness side and ground; and between ABS module C155-32, circuit 30-CF6B (RD), harness side and ground; and between ABS module C155-4, circuit 20-CF6A (PK/YE), harness side and ground; and between ABS module C155-4, circuit 20-CF6A (PK/YE), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to  A2.
    • No  : VERIFY power distribution box (PDB) fuse 3 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. REPEAT the self-test.
  2. A2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE GROUNDS 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between ABS module C155-16, circuit 31-CF6C (BK/YE), harness side and ground; and between ABS module C155-47 circuit 31-CF6D (BK) harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : CHECK the module communications network. REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. REPEAT the self-test.
