    1. Disconnect the Left Front WSS harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. Measure the voltage of the (B9) Left Front WSS 12 Volt Supply circuit.

      Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. CHECK (B9) LEFT FRONT WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Left Front WSS harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
    4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B9) Left Front WSS Supply circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. CHECK (B9) LEFT FRONT WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  7. CHECK (B8) LEFT FRONT WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 5: Checking Left Front WSS Signal Circuit Open

    1. Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  8

      No 

  8. CHECK (B8) LEFT FRONT WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Remove all jumper wires.
    3. Measure the voltage between the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit and ground.

      Is the voltage above one volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  9
  9. CHECK (B8) LEFT FRONT WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (B9) LEFT FRONT WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TOGETHER

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit and the (B9) Left Front WSS Supply circuit.

      Is the resistance above 120 ohms?

      Yes 

      Go to step  10

      No 

  10. LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR 
    1. Replace the Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
