Test A: No Communication With Abs Control Module

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect 25-pin ABS control module connector. Install EEC-IV 60-pin Breakout Box (014-00322). Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, individually measure voltage between ground and breakout box terminals No. 20 (Light Blue/Pink wire), No. 25 (Red wire) and No. 9 (Yellow/Light Green wire). If all voltages are greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If any voltage is less than 10 volts, repair appropriate wire(s). Recheck system operation.
  2. Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between breakout box terminal No. 8 and ground. Also, measure resistance between breakout box terminal No. 24 and ground. If both resistance measurements are less than 5 ohms, diagnose module communications network. See appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If either resistance measurement is greater than 5 ohms, repair suspect Black wire between ABS control module and ground distribution. Recheck system operation.
