Rough road condition signal, checking
 
     
ABS control module with ABS/EDL  
     
Notes:  
     
Misfires can result in malfunctions such as 
"Combustion misfire" being recorded in DTC 
memory due to road wheel malfunctions. 
     If the ABS control module recognizes a free 
turning wheel, it generates a rough road signal. 
     If the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes 
the rough road signal, misfire recognition is 
switched off in the ECM. 
     The rough road signal is created to check 
whether DTC 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine 
Torque ABS-SG Electrical Malfunction" is 
stored in DTC memory. The "Combustion 
misfire" malfunction results from this signal and 
can be ignored. 
     The rough road signal is monitored by the 
ECM.
