Retrieving Codes

  1. Ensure battery voltage is about 12 volts. Turn ignition on. ABS light should come on, then go out after 3 seconds. If warning light does not come on, check fuse, bulb, and wiring harness.
  2. With ignition on, unplug DLC1. See Figure. Connect jumper wire between DLC terminals Tc and E1. See Figure. If a trouble code is stored, 4 seconds will elapse, then ABS light will begin to flash a 2-digit code. First series of flashes indicates first digit of code. After a 1.5-second pause, second series of flashes indicates second digit of code.
  3. If 2 or more codes are stored, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each code. After all codes are displayed, a 4-second pause will occur, then all codes will repeat. If ABS system is functioning properly, ABS light will flash 2 times every second. For code interpretation, see DIAGNOSTIC CODES.
  4. After replacing or repairing malfunctioning components, clear diagnostic codes. If a battery cable was disconnected during repairs, all codes will be erased. If battery cable was not disconnected during repairs, see CLEARING CODES.
