    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Left Rear 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 (B4) Left Rear WSS Supply circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. CHECK (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN 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 (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  7. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    Fig 5: Checking Left Rear WSS Signal Circuit For An Open

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Remove all jumper wires.
    3. Measure the voltage between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and ground.

      Is the voltage above one volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  9
  9. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (B4) LEFT REAR WSS 12 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TOGETHER 
    Fig 7: Checking Left Rear WSS Signal Circuit & Left Rear WSS 12 Volt Supply Circuit Shorted Together
