Pinpoint Test F: No Communication With The Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: The Flex Probe Kit must be used for all test connections. Use of standard multimeter probes may damage wiring terminals.

F1 CHECK CIRCUIT 601 (LB/PK), CIRCUIT 483 (RD), AND CIRCUIT 88 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN

Key in OFF position.
Disconnect: ABS module C135.
Key in ON position.

Measure the voltage between the ABS module C135 pins and ground as follows:

Pin	Circuit
8	88 (BK/WH)
13	601 (LB/PK)
14	483 (RD)

Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?

Yes : GO to F2.
No : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

F2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE GROUNDS
- Measure the resistance between the ABS module C135 pin 15, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground; and between the ABS module C135 pin 12, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.

- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to continue diagnosis of the communication network.
- No : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
