The ABS module communicates with the diagnostic tool through the controller area network (CAN) circuits 3125 (RD/YE) and 3126 (TN/YE). If one of the bus wires becomes shorted to ground or voltage, or if some but not all termination resistors are lost, communications can continue. Check circuits 3125 (RD/YE) and 3126 (TN/YE) between the ABS module C155 and the DLC C251. Total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms there is an open in CAN circuits, damage to the DLC C251, damage to the ABS module C155, or a problem in the in-line connectors.
