- Turn ignition off. Disconnect gauge assembly 16-pin connector "C". Check for continuity between ground and gauge assembly connector "C" terminal No. 10 (Blue/White wire). See Fig 1 . If continuity does not exist, go to next step. If continuity exists, repair short to ground in Blue/White wire between gauge assembly and ABS/TCS control unit.
- Reconnect gauge assembly connector "C". Connect fused jumper wire between ground and gauge assembly 22-pin connector "B" terminal No. 16 (Black wire) by backprobing. Turn ignition on. If ABS indicator light comes on, go to next step. If ABS indicator light does not illuminate, replace gauge assembly. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
