Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 3:
This step tests the sensor circuitry in the high voltage range.
- 4:
This step tests the sensor circuitry in the low voltage range.

Schematic Reference: ABS Schematics
Connector End View Reference: ABS Connector End Views
IMPORTANT:
- If DTC C0292 is set, diagnose C0292 before proceeding with diagnostics for C0186.
- If DTC C0196 is set, diagnose C0196 before proceeding with diagnostics for C0186.
- Always use connector test adapters when performing tests to avoid damage to delicate connector terminals.
- Do not turn OFF the ignition during this diagnostic procedure unless the step in the table instructs you to do so. The scan tool may display some incorrect data if the ignition is cycled.

- Turn ON the ignition.
- Disconnect the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer harness connector. Refer to Yaw Rate Sensor/Lateral Accelerometer Replacement .
- Select the VSES Data Display function on the scan tool.
- Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer 5-volt reference circuit and the lateral accelerometer signal circuit. Refer to Using Fused Jumper Wires
in Wiring Systems.
- Observe the Lateral Accelerometer Sensor Input on the scan tool.
Is the Lateral Accelerometer Sensor Input voltage greater than the specified value? |
4.4 V |
Go to Step 4 |
Go to Step 5 |
