The right-front wheel must not rotate; block it if necessary.For LEDs with little voltage consumption, the LED lights up at half 
strength when the ignition is switched on.

CAN-Bus, checking
 
      When a CAN-Bus malfunction is indicated during 
a check of DTC memory of the Engine Control 
Module (ECM), refer to the following test to 
eliminate the malfunction.  
     
Note:  
     
The information exchange occurs between the 
Engine Control Module (ECM) and the 
Transmission Control Module (TCM) via a CAN-
Bus. 
     All signals are carried by 2 wires between the 
ECM and the TCM.

Rough road signal from ABS/EDL 
control module, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
When the ABS/EDL control module senses a 
wheel spinning, it produces the rough road 
signal. When the ECM recognizes the rough 
road signal, the misfire recognition is switched 
off. 
     Check the rough road signal only when the 
trouble code 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine 
Torque ABS-ECU Electrical Malfunction" is 
stored. The possible "Misfire" malfunction is in 
this case a subsequent malfunction that can be 
disregarded. 
     The wiring and the rough road signal are 
monitored by the ECM. 
     Emissions testing on a front-wheel drive vehicle 
with ABS/EDL, during which only the front 
wheels turn while the rear wheels are 
stationary, can result in the DTC 18014 being 
stored in DTC memory. Therefore, the fuse for 
the ABS/EDL control module must be removed. 
After the test, check DTC memory for the 
ABS/EDL control module and the ECM. Then 
erase DTC memory.

replaced:  -  Check signal wiring between ECM/test box terminal 45 and ABS 
control module for short circuit or open circuit. -  Replace ABS control module.
