Abs Function Test

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Raise and support vehicle. Install scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition on. Place transaxle in Neutral position. Select a channel to test left front, right front or rear.
  2. Firmly depress brake pedal. Pedal should remain high and firm. Have an assistant attempt to rotate wheel being tested. If wheel does not rotate, base braking mode is functioning properly.
  3. With brake pedal still depressed, press UP arrow button on scan tool to begin test. Scan tool will display RELEASE and assistant should be able to rotate wheel for about 2 seconds. Brake pedal should remain high and firm. If brake pedal height drops, ensure solenoid harness connectors are connected to correct solenoid.
  4. Scan tool will switch to hold mode and display HOLD. With brake pedal still depressed, have an assistant attempt to rotate wheel. Wheel should rotate with little or no resistance for full 18 seconds of test. After 18 seconds, brake pressure will be applied, and a slight bump may be felt in brake pedal. Wheel should not be able to be turned at this point.
