Code 52, Code 53, Code 54, Motor In Release Too Long: Notes

NOTE: To identify circuits and terminals referenced in text and flowcharts, see WIRING DIAGRAM  .

ABS module commands current to any one motor for only a limited time. If module reaches time limit, ABS operation will be disabled and ABS light will illuminate. Motors will return to home position, ensuring full base brakes are available.

NOTE: If any other codes are present, diagnose other codes first.

Code will set if motor is in release too long. This code can set only during ABS braking. Code can be set together with Code 25/26/27/28 if wheel speed drops to zero during ABS stop.
