    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. 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 (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. Connect a jumper wire between ground and the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
    2. 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 

      • Go to step  8

      No 

  8. CHECK (B3) LEFT REAR WSS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Remove all jumper wires.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected between the (B3) Left Rear WSS Signal circuit and ground.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      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
