Signal Specification Abs (2000-2004)

All the values given below are between the terminal stated in column 1 and terminal 16 (ground). This applies unless otherwise indicated in brackets. ABS control module terminals 1-40 correspond to terminals 1-40 on the breakout box.

CAUTION: Before taking readings: Connect the breakout box. Check the ground terminals.
U DC voltage in volts (V) % duty Duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage (%)
Ubat battery voltage in volts (V) f frequency in Hertz (Hz)
Ulow voltage approximately 0 V UAC AC voltage in volts (V)
Terminal  Signal type  Ignition on. 
Engine idling 
Other 
1 Signal ground, right rear wheel sensor U ≈ Ulow -
3 Signal (+), right rear wheel sensor U ≈ 0.2 V
UAC ≈ Ulow
AC voltage is generated when the wheel is rotated. The voltage (UAC ) increases with wheel speed.
4 Signal ground, right front wheel sensor U ≈ Ulow -
5 Signal (+), right front wheel sensor U ≈ 0.2 V
UAC ≈ Ulow
AC voltage is generated when the wheel is rotated. The voltage (UAC ) increases with wheel speed.
6 Signal ground, left front wheel sensor U ≈ Ulow -
7 Signal (+), left front wheel sensor U ≈ 0.2 V
UAC ≈ Ulow
AC voltage is generated when the wheel is rotated. The voltage (UAC ) increases with wheel speed.
8 Signal ground, left rear wheel sensor U ≈ Ulow -
9 Signal (+), left rear wheel sensor U ≈ 0.2 V
UAC ≈ Ulow
AC voltage is generated when the wheel is rotated. The voltage (UAC ) increases with wheel speed.
11 Diagnostic lead 1-4 V below Ubat
Other values apply if the fault-tracing instrument is connected to the data link connector (DLC)
-
13 Control signal, ABS warning lamp Lamp lit: U above approximately 3 V
Lamp not lit: U ≈ Ulow
The warning lamp goes out when the control module grounds the signal. The warning lamp lights when the control module increase the voltage to above approximately 3 V.
14 Signal, stop (brake) light switch Open: U ≈ Ulow
Closed: 0-1.5 V below Ubat
The stop (brake) light switch closes when braking and the control module is supplied with voltage

16 Ground
(measured to the battery negative terminal)
Ulow -
17 30- supply, pump motor

Ubat -
18 30 supply, valves
(via the valve relay)
Ubat -
21 Control signal, EBD warning lamp Lamp lit: U ≈ Ulow
Lamp not lit: U ≈ 6.9 Volt
The lamp lights if the brake fluid level falls to a certain level.
23 Signal, left rear wheel speed
(to the DSA control module)
U ≈ 0 V-Ubat (depending on the position of the wheel)
The frequency (f) increase with the speed of the wheel.
Pulsed signal between approximately 0 V-Ubat with a fixed pulse ratio (duty cycle ≈ 50%)
24 Signal, right rear wheel speed
(to the DSA control module)
U ≈ 0 V-Ubat (depending on the position of the wheel)
The frequency (f) increase with the speed of the wheel.
Pulsed signal between approximately 0 V-Ubat with a fixed pulse ratio (duty cycle ≈ 50%)
25 Signal, left front wheel speed
(to the DSA control module)
U ≈ 0 V-Ubat (depending on the position of the wheel)
The frequency (f) increase with the speed of the wheel.
Pulsed signal between approximately 0 V-Ubat with a fixed pulse ratio (duty cycle ≈ 50%)
26 Signal, right front wheel speed
(to the DSA control module)
U ≈ 0 V-Ubat (depending on the position of the wheel)
The frequency (f) increase with the speed of the wheel.
Pulsed signal between approximately 0 V-Ubat with a fixed pulse ratio (duty cycle ≈ 50%)
