4-Door Models

  1. Check charging system voltage. Ensure 10-14 volts is present. If charging system voltage is okay, go to next step. If charging system voltage is not okay, check and repair charging system.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure ABS warning light comes on, then goes out after 3 seconds. If ABS warning light does not illuminate, check fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. See ABS WARNING LIGHT  under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. Turn ignition off.
  3. Using a jumper wire, jumper terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1. DLC1 is located in engine compartment on left side of engine. See Figure. Ensure ABS warning light blinks 4 times per second. If ABS light does not blink, go to ABS WARNING LIGHT  under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. If ABS warning light blinks, go to next step.
    NOTE: When measuring vehicle height in following steps, measure at center of lower body of vehicle.
  4. Using a floor jack, slowly jack up rear of vehicle. On vehicles with 215/70R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of 25.59-27.95" (650-710 mm). On vehicles with 235/60R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of 26.38-28.74" (670-730 mm). If ABS warning light illuminates at specified height, check deceleration sensor installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Lower vehicle.
  5. Using a floor jack, slowly jack up front of vehicle. On vehicles with 215/70R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of 21.20-23.56" (550-610 mm). On vehicles with 235/60R16 tires, raise vehicle to a height of 22.44-24.80" (570-630 mm). If ABS warning light illuminates at specified height, check deceleration sensor installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Lower vehicle.
  6. Drive vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more. Lightly depress brake pedal. Ensure ABS warning light pattern is normal (light blinks 4 times per second).
  7. While driving vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more, moderately depress brake pedal. Ensure ABS warning light illuminates in a solid pattern (light does not blink) while braking.
  8. While driving vehicle straight ahead at speed of 13 MPH or more, firmly depress brake pedal. Ensure ABS warning light illumination pattern changes from a solid pattern (light does not blink) to a normal pattern (light blinks 4 times per second), then back to a solid pattern while braking.
  9. If ABS warning light does not illuminate as described in steps  6- 8 , check deceleration sensor installation. If installation is okay, replace deceleration sensor. Stop vehicle and turn ignition off. Remove jumper wire from DLC1.
