Signal Specification, Abs Control Module

All values given are between the relevant terminal in column 1 and terminal #A8 or #A24 (ground), unless otherwise indicated in brackets.

NOTE:

It is important that the breakout box is connected and that the ground terminals have been checked before readings are taken.

  U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ubat = battery voltage (V)
  I = current in amperes (A) Ulow = voltage approximately 0 V
Breakout box terminal  Control module terminal  Signal type  Ignition on  Other 
#A1 #1 Front left wheel sensor signal Tooth against sensor: I≈14 mA U≈9 V
Cover against sensor: I≈7 mA U≈10 V
(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
#A2 #2 Front left wheel sensor power supply U = Ubat -
#A3 #3 - - -
#A4 #4 15l-supply (power supply from ignition switch) U = Ubat -
#A5 #5 Rear left wheel sensor signal Tooth against sensor: I≈14 mA U≈9 V
Cover against sensor: I≈7 mA U≈10 V
(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
#A6 #6 Rear left wheel sensor power supply U = Ubat -
#A7 #7 - - -
#A8 #8 Power and signal ground (measured to battery negative terminal) U≈Ulow -
#A9 #9 30-supply inlet and outlet valves (power supply from the battery to the intake and exhaust valves) U≈Ubat Power supply to the in and outlet valves and signal to the control module.
#A10 #10 Control modules communication cable (CAN L) U=2-3V -
#A11 #11 Control modules communication cable (CAN H) U=2-3V -
#A12 #12 - - -
#A13 #13 - - -
#A14 #14 Stop lamp switch signal (applies only to AWD TRACS) Open: U≈Ulow
Closed: U≈Ubat.
The stop lamp switch closes when braking.
#A15 #15 - - -
#A16 #16 - - -
#A17 #17 - - -
#A18 #18 Stop lamp switch signal Open: U≈Ulow
Closed: U≈Ubat
The stop lamp switch closes when braking.
#A19 #19 Front right wheel sensor signal Tooth against sensor: I≈14 mA U≈9 V
Cover against sensor: I≈7 mA U≈10 V
(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
#A20 #20 Power supply, rear right wheel sensor U = Ubat -
#A21 #21 - - -
#A22 #22 Power supply, rear right wheel sensor U = Ubat The wheel sensor receives 12 V from the control module.
#A23 #23 Rear right wheel sensor signal Tooth against sensor: I≈14 mA U≈9 V
Cover against sensor: I≈7 mA U≈10 V
(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
#A24 #24 Power and signal ground (measured to battery negative terminal) U≈Ulow -
#A25 #25 30-supply pump motor (power supply from the battery) U≈Ubat -
