OPERATION
Under normal driving conditions, ABS functions as a standard brake system. With detection of wheel lock-up,
short pedal pulsations occurring in rapid succession will be felt in brake pedal. Pedal pulsation will continue
until there is no longer a need for ABS function or until vehicle speed falls below 3 MPH. Maintaining a
constant force on the brake pedal provides shortest stopping distance.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
MASTER CYLINDER
Ensure brake fluid reservoir is full. Disconnect brakelines from master cylinder. Have an assistant slowly
depress brake pedal and hold. Block off outlet ports on master cylinder with finger, then have assistant release
brake pedal. Repeat 3 or 4 times or until master cylinder is bled.
BRAKELINES
Install bleeder hose with container of clean brake fluid on wheel cylinder or caliper. Depress brake pedal several
times and hold, then loosen bleeder valve. Tighten bleeder valve when fluid flow stops, then release brake
pedal. Repeat until air bubbles are no longer present for each wheel.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Begin diagnosis with a basic visual inspection of brake fluid level, tire size and other mechanical brake system
components which may affect anti-lock operation. Check system sensors, wire harnesses and connectors for
proper installation, routing and connection. Ensure all system fuses are okay. Repair as necessary. NOTE: For more information on brake system, see DISC & DRUM
- FWD CARS article.
CAUTION: See ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid contacts a painted
surface, wipe off immediately and clean with alcohol. Use only DOT 3
brake fluid from a sealed container. DO NOT mix brake fluid with any other
type.
NOTE: Bleed brakes from farthest wheel first to closest wheel.

SYMPTOM TESTS
ABS LIGHT ON: ABS ECU MALFUNCTION
Circuit Description
This circuit is the power source for ABS ECU and actuator.
DTC Detecting Condition
If voltage at ABS ECU terminal IG1 remains more than 17 volts, this DTC will set. If a malfunction occurs in
power source circuit, ABS ECU cuts off current to ABS control relay and prohibits ABS control.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Retrieve DTCs. See RETRIEVING DTCS under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. If DTC is output using
ABS warning light, perform appropriate test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
. If ABS warning light does
not operate normally, go to next step. If ABS warning light operates normally (lights blink 2 times per
second and no DTCs are present), check ABS control (solenoid) relay. See SOLENOID RELAY
SECTION under ABS CONTROL RELAY under COMPONENT TESTS. Check for short circuit in

DIAGRAMS .
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
DTC 11 & DTC 12: ABS CONTROL (SOLENOID) RELAY CIRCUIT
Circuit Description
This relay supplies power to each ABS solenoid. After ignition switch is turned to ON position, if initial check

If voltage at ABS control relay connector terminal A9-1 is less than 1.5 volts and voltage at connector
terminal A9-5 is zero volts, DTC 11 may set.
If voltage at ABS control relay connector terminal A9-1 is 10-14 volts and voltage at connector terminal
A9-5 is 10-14 volts, DTC 12 may set.
Diagnostic Procedure
1. Disconnect ABS control relay 6-pin connector A9, located in engine compartment at front of vehicle. See
Fig. 1
. Measure voltage between connector terminals A9-2 and A9-6. See Fig. 4 . If voltage is 10-14
volts, go to next step. If voltage is not 10-14 volts, repair wiring harness between ground, battery and
ABS control relay.
2. Measure resistance between ABS control relay terminal A9-5 and appropriate ABS ECU terminals. See
ABS ECU
-TO-ACTUATOR CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION/RESISTANCE VALUES . See Fig. 3 .
If resistance on every circuit is between 26-40 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified,
check for open or short circuit in appropriate wiring between ABS control relay, ABS actuator and ABS
ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If wiring is okay, replace ABS actuator.

DTC 31, DTC 32, DTC 33 & DTC 34: SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT
Circuit Description
Speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends appropriate signals to ABS ECU. These signals are used to control
ABS system. Front and rear sensor rotors each have 48 teeth. When rotor rotates, magnetic field emitted by
permanent magnet in speed sensor generates an AC voltage. Since frequency of this AC voltage changes in
direct proportion to speed of rotor, frequency is used by ABS ECU to detect speed of each wheel. If
malfunction occurs in speed sensor circuit, ABS ECU cuts off current to ABS control relay and prohibits ABS
control.
DTC Detecting Condition
Detection of any of the following conditions may set DTCs 31-34:
Vehicle speed is 6 MPH or more and pulses are not input for 30 seconds.
Momentary interruption of speed sensor signal occurs at least 7 times during one ignition cycle.
Abnormal fluctuation of speed sensor signals when vehicle speed is 12 MPH or more.
Diagnostic Procedure
NOTE: To determine which speed sensor circuit is malfunctioning, see DTC

1. Disconnect front speed sensor connector. Measure resistance between speed sensor connector terminals.
Resistance should be 1.4-1.8 k/ohms. Measure resistance between ground and each speed sensor
connector terminal. Resistance should be one megohm or more. If resistance is as specified, go to step 3 .
If resistance is not as specified, replace speed sensor.
2. Disconnect rear speed sensor connector. Measure resistance between speed sensor connector terminals.
Resistance should be 1.28-1.48 k/ohms. Measure resistance between ground and each speed sensor
connector terminal. Resistance should be one megohm or more. If resistance is as specified, go to next
step. If resistance is not as specified, replace speed sensor.
3. Check for open or short circuit in wiring harness between affected speed sensor and ABS ECU. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If wiring harness is okay, go to next step.
4. Check speed sensor installation. Ensure mounting bolt is tightened to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure zero clearance exists between sensor and front steering knuckle or rear axle
carrier. Replace speed sensor if necessary. If speed sensor installation is okay, check speed sensor signal.
See SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS
under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. If signal is normal, go to next
step.
5. If oscilloscope is available, check speed sensor signal wave form. Remove ABS ECU. Do not disconnect
electrical connectors. Connect oscilloscope between GND terminal and terminals FR+, FL+, RR+ and
RL+ at ABS ECU connector. See Fig. 3
. Drive vehicle at 19 MPH and observe signal wave form. Signal
should be smooth and consistent without any irregular wave forms. If wave form is smooth and
consistent, replace ABS ECU. If wave form is not smooth and consistent, go to next step.
6. Check speed sensor rotor for missing teeth or damage. Check sensor tip for scratches, damage or foreign
objects. Replace components as necessary. If rotor and sensor are okay, replace ABS ECU.
DTC 37: TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZE (2WD MODELS ONLY)
DTC Detecting Condition
Detection of the following condition may set DTC 37:
Driving vehicle at speed of more than 12 MPH for more than 20 seconds with one or 2 tires of different
sizes, 3 different times continuously will set DTC 37.
Diagnostic Procedure
Ensure vehicle tires are all the same size and correct size for vehicle. Replace tires as necessary. If tire size is
okay, replace ABS ECU.
DTC 41: LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
Circuit is power source for ABS ECU, which includes actuator. If malfunction occurs in power source circuit,
ABS ECU cuts off current to ABS control relay and prohibits ABS control. DEFINITIONS
