Inspection Procedures (Without Abs)

  1. CHECK DTC RELATING TO FRONT RIGHT WSS OF ABS
    1. Using the Hi-Scan (Pro), check any other DTC.

    Is DTC relating to front right wheel speed sensor of ABS? 

    No: Go to next

    Yes: Do all repairs associated with those codes.

  2. CHECK ABS CONTROL MODULE AND ECM CONNECTORS
    1. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

    Are all connectors good? 

    Yes: Go to next

    No: Repair or replace it.

  3. CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
    1. Check resistance of wheel speed sensor.

    • Resistance: 1275~1495ohm 

    Is resistance normal? 

    Yes: Go to next

    No: Replace it.

  4. CHECK FOR OPEN IN HARNESS
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect ECM and WSS connectors.
    2. Measure resistance between terminal 1 of WSS harness connector and terminal 18 of ECM harness connector.
    3. Measure resistance between terminal 2 of WSS harness connector and terminal 17 of ECM harness connector.

    • Specification: below 1ohm 

    Does resistance indicate continuity? 

    Yes: Go to next

    No: Repair open in harness.

  5. CHECK FOR SHORT TO POWER IN HARNESS
    1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
    2. Measure voltage between terminal 1 of WSS harness connector and chassis ground.
    3. Measure voltage between terminal 2 of WSS harness connector and chassis ground.

    • Specifications: below 0.5 V 

    Is voltage within specification? 

    Yes: Go to next

    No: Replace it.

  6. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN HARNESS
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Measure resistance between terminal 1 of WSS harness connector and chassis ground.
    3. Measure resistance between terminal 2 of WSS harness connector and chassis ground.

    • Specifications: infinite 

      Does resistance indicate open? 

    Yes: Proceed with ECM PROBLEM PROCEDURE  .

    No: Repair short to chassis ground in harness.
