Retrieving Codes

  1. ABS can store trouble codes when system fault is detected. To retrieve trouble codes, locate ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) under right side of front passenger seat. Fold back carpet between door sill and seat to expose ABS ECU. See Fig 1 .
  2. Drive vehicle at 19 MPH (30 km/h) for at least one minute. When system fault is detected, dash board warning light will come on. About 5-12 seconds later, an ABS ECU LED light will start to flash if a trouble code is stored. With vehicle stopped and engine running, count LED flashes. See Fig 2 .
    NOTE: ABS ECU trouble code memory will reset when ignition is turned off.
  3. ABS ECU can display one code at a time. If more than one code is stored, lowest number code will be displayed first. If necessary, drive vehicle after repairing first code to store and read any additional codes.
