If using Tech 1 for retrieving codes, go to step 3). If using ANTILOCK light for retrieving codes, turn ignition on. Using a jumper wire, connect terminal "H" to terminal "A" in ALDL connector. See Fig 1. System will repeat trouble code(s) as long as ALDL connector terminals are jumpered.
Trouble codes will begin displaying by a flashing ANTILOCK warning light. As an example, Code 25 would be displayed by ANTILOCK warning light flashing 2 times, followed by a pause, then flashing 5 more times. See 4WAL FAULT CODES table for diagnosis. See CLEARING FAULT CODES to erase stored trouble codes. If no fault codes are present, see 4WAL SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS table.
Turn ignition off. Connect Tech 1 to ALDL connector. Access 4WAL brake trouble codes with Tech 1. Tech 1 will display trouble code(s). Repair trouble codes in order they appear. See 4WAL FAULT CODES table for diagnosis. See CLEARING FAULT CODES for erasing stored trouble codes. If no fault codes are present, see 4WAL SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS table.
