Pinpoint Test BR: Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) Module Communication Concern With The VDM (Vehicle Dynamics Control Module)

REFER to: MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the VDM sends messages to the ABS module the over the CAN. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within a certain time frame, the module sets one or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to an VDM failure, a circuit failure on the network or an excessive load on the network.
