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

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 CIRCUIT 677 (LB) AND CIRCUIT 483 (RD) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C155.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the ABS module C155-4, circuit 677 (LB), harness side and ground; and between the ABS module C155-32, circuit 483 (RD), harness side and ground.
