than 0.5 volt or more than 4.5 volts, or an open or short
circuit in "G" sensor system.
1) Disconnect "G" sensor connector. Sensor is located on
bracket under center console, next to shifter. See Fig. 10. Connect
Special Tool (MB991348) between sensor and connector. Using a DVOM,
check voltage between sensor connector terminals No. 2 (Blue/White
wire) and No. 3 (Black/Red wire). Voltage should be 2.38-2.62 volts.
If voltage is as specified, reconnect sensor connector and go to step
3). If voltage is not as specified, leave special tool and DVOM
connected and go to next step.
2) Note top center position of sensor, and remove sensor. See
"G" SENSOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Secure sensor so that arrow
on sensor is facing straight down. Voltage should be 3.4-3.6 volts. If
voltage is specified, reinstall sensor and go to next step. If voltage
is not as specified, replace sensor.
3) Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECU 26-pin connector. Turn
ignition on. Check voltage between ECU 26-pin connector terminals No.
4 and 17. See Figs. 5-6. Voltage should be 2.4-2.6 volts. If voltage
is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified,
check and repair connectors and related wiring harness between ECU and

exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check and
repair wiring harness between ABS valve relay and fusible link No. 1.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
3) Disconnect ECU connectors. Check resistance between ECU
22-pin connector terminal No. 37 and ECU 26-pin connector terminal No.
26. Resistance should be 60-120 ohms. If resistance is as specified,
go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, check and repair
connectors and related wiring harness between ABS valve relay and ECU.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
4) Check continuity between ECU 22-pin connector terminal No.
48 and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity
does not exist, check and repair wiring harness between ABS valve
relay and ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
5) Check and repair ECU 22-pin connector. If connector is
okay, replace ECU.
DTC 53: MOTOR RELAY
NOTE: DTC is set when ECU detects motor relay on but motor does
not run, motor relay off but motor does not stop, or when
motor relay is faulty.
1) Using scan tool, perform hydraulic unit actuator test. If
motor is not operating, go to next step. If motor is still operating,
repair wiring harness between hydraulic unit and ECU. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS .
2) Inspect ABS relay box. See Fig. 3. Replace ABS relay box
if needed. If ABS relay box is okay, go to next step.
3) Disconnect ABS relay box 2-pin connector. Using DVOM,
check voltage between 2-pin connector terminal No. 11 and ground. See
Fig. 4 . If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery
volt age is not present, check and repair wiring harness between ABS
motor relay and fusible link No. 1. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
4) Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECU connectors. Check
resistance between ECU 22-pin connector terminal No. 38 and 26-pin
connector terminal No. 26. Resistance should be 26-38 ohms. If
resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as
specified, check and repair connectors and related wiring harness
between ABS motor and ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
5) Check resistance between ECU 22-pin connector terminal No.
49 and ground. Resistance should be 0.1-0.3 ohm. If resistance is as
specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, check
and repair hydraulic unit motor ground connection or wiring harness
between ECU and hydraulic unit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
6) Check motor operation. Momentarily apply battery voltage
to hydraulic unit connector terminal No. 11. See Fig. 11. If motor
operates, go to next step. If motor does not operate, replace
hydraulic unit.
7) Check and repair ECU 22-pin connector. If connector is
okay, replace ECU.
