Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , Connector Repairs , Testing for Electrical Intermittents and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

If the customer's concern is that the ABS indicator is on only during humid conditions such as rain, snow or vehicle wash, thoroughly inspect the wheel speed sensor circuits for signs of water intrusion. Use the following procedure in order to help isolate the problem area:

  1. Spray the suspected area with a 5 percent salt water solution.
  2. Operate the vehicle at a speed greater than 13 km/h (8 mph) for at least 30 seconds.

Repair or replace the suspect harness if the DTC sets.

DTC C0035 or C0040 Diagnostic Test

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference:  ABS Schematics  
1 Did you perform the ABS Diagnostic System Check? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - ABS

  1. Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle at a speed greater than the specified value.
Does the DTC set?		 13 km/h (8 mph) Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
3
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
  3. Disconnect the wheel speed sensor connector.
  4. Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance across the wheel speed sensor.
Does the resistance measure within the specified range?		 700-10,000 Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 8

  1. Slowly spin the wheel by hand.
  2. Use a DMM in order to measure the AC voltage across the wheel speed sensor as the wheel spins.
Does the AC voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 100 mV Go to Step 5  Go to Step 8 
5 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the wheel speed sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 6

  1. Disconnect from the EBCM, the harness connector containing the wheel speed sensor circuits.
  2. Test the wheel speed sensor circuits for the following:
    • An open
    • A short to ground
    • A short to voltage
    • Shorted together
Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 7 
7 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector for the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 9 
8 Replace the wheel speed sensor. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 10  -
9
IMPORTANT: Use the scan tool in order to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure.
Replace the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 10  -
10
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK
