NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

TEST	ACTION
1	Turn the ignition on. NOTE: As soon as one or more module communicates with the DRB, answer the question. With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the Instrument Cluster (MIC). With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the Central Timer Module (CTM). Was the DRB able to I/D or establish communications with either of the modules? Yes --> Go To 2 No --> Refer to the COMMUNICATION category and perform the symptom PCI Bus Communication Failure. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
2	Turn the ignition off. Remove and inspect fuse #27 in the junction block. Is the fuse open? Yes --> Go To 3 No --> Go To 6
3	Turn the ignition off. Replace Fuse #27 in the junction block. Turn the ignition on. Remove and inspect fuse #27 in the junction block. Is the fuse open? Yes --> Go To 4 No --> Check the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit for an intermittent short to ground, refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS . Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
4	Turn the ignition off. Replace fuse #27 in the junction block. Disconnect the CAB C1 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Remove and inspect fuse #27 in the junction block. Is the fuse open? Yes --> Go To 5 No --> Replace the Controller Antilock Brake in accordance with the Service Information. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
5	Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the CAB C1 harness connector. Disconnect the Junction Block C2 harness connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit for a short to ground. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Junction Block in accordance with the service information. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
6	Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the CAB C1 harness connector. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe each ground circuit (if equipped with more than one). Is the test light illuminated for each circuit? Yes --> Go To 7 No --> Repair the ground circuit(s) for an open. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
7	Turn the ignition off. NOTE: Ensure fuse #27 is installed in the junction block. Disconnect the CAB C1 harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit. Is the test light illuminated? Yes --> Go To 8 No --> Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit for an open. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
8	NOTE: Ensure there is PCI Bus communication with other modules on the vehicle before proceeding. If not, refer to the symptom list from the menu and repair as necessary. Disconnect the CAB C1 harness connector.Use Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRB. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.With the DRBIII(R) select Pep Module Tools.Select lab scope.Select Live Data.Select 12 volt square wave.Press F2 for Scope.Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.Connect the Black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the Red lead to the PCI Bus circuit in the CAB connector.Turn the ignition on.Observe the voltage display on the DRB Lab Scope.Does the voltage pulse from 0 to approximately 7.5 volts? Yes --> Go To 9 No --> Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
9	If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair. Repair Replace the Controller Antilock Brake in accordance with the Service Information. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
