Retrieving DTC

NOTE: Speed sensor diagnostics and code retrieval use different DLC1 terminals with short pin disconnected. If a speed sensor or speed sensor circuit problem is suspected, see SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS .
  1. Ensure battery voltage is about 12 volts. Turn ignition on. ABS light should illuminate, then go out after 3 seconds. If warning light does not illuminate, check fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. See TROUBLE SHOOTING .
  2. Connect jumper wire between DLC1 terminals Tc and E1. Remove short pin from terminals WA and WB of DLC1. See Fig 1. Turn ignition on. If a DTC is stored, 4 seconds will elapse, then ABS light will begin to flash a 2-digit DTC. First series of flashes indicates first digit of DTC. After a 1.5-second pause, second series of flashes indicates second digit of DTC.
  3. If 2 or more DTC are stored, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each DTC. After all DTC are displayed, a 4-second pause will occur, then all DTC will repeat. If ABS system is functioning properly, ABS light will flash 2 times every second. For DTC identification, see DTC IDENTIFICATION CHART  table.
  4. After replacing or repairing malfunctioning components, clear DTC. If a battery cable was disconnected during repairs, all DTC will be erased. If battery cable was not disconnected during repairs, see CLEARING DTC .
