  2. CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE 
    NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector, Left Front WSS, and Left Front WSS harness connector.

      Is the Left Front WSS or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. CHECK (B9) LEFT FRONT WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE

    1. Disconnect the Left Front WSS harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. Measure the voltage between the (B9) Left Front WSS Supply circuit and ground.

      Is the voltage above 10 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. If not done previously, disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
    3. 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  8
  8. CHECK (B8) LEFT FRONT WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 6: 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  9

      No 

  9. CHECK (B8) LEFT FRONT WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND (B9) LEFT FRONT WSS SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TOGETHER 
    Fig 7: Checking Left Front WSS Signal Circuit & Left Front WSS Supply Circuit Short Together

    1. Remove all jumper wires.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (B8) Left Front WSS Signal circuit and the (B9) Left Front WSS Supply circuit.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 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.
    2. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
      CAUTION: Make sure brake capability is available before road testing.
    3. Road test the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.).
      NOTE: Vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 m.p.h.) for set conditions to be meet.
