Possible Causes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ABS PUMP MOTOR INTERMITTENT DTC
- FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT INTERMITTENTLY SHORTED TO GROUND
- FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
- CAB - FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
- FUSE OPEN - PUMP MOTOR CIRCUIT
- NO B+ SUPPLY TO FUSE
- ABS PUMP MOTOR INOPERATIVE
- FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN
- GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
- GROUND CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
- CAB - INTERNAL FAULT
TEST ACTION AND APPLICABILITY
| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, read DTC's. With the DRBIII®, erase DTC's. Turn the ignition off. Turn the ignition on. Turn the ignition off. With the DRBIII®, actuate the ABS pump motor. Did the Pump Motor operate when actuated?
|
All |
| 2 | Turn the ignition off. Remove and inspect the ABS Pump Motor fuse. Is the Fuse open?
|
All |
| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Make sure the Pump Motor connector is secure. Visually inspect the Fused B(+) circuit in the wiring harness from the ABS PUMP fuse to the CAB harness connector. Look for any sign of an intermittent short to ground. Is the wiring harness OK?
|
All |
| 4 | Turn the ignition off. Remove the ABS PUMP Fuse. Disconnect the CAB harness connector. Make sure the ABS Pump Motor connector is secure.
NOTE:
Check connector - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the Fused B(+) circuit to ground. Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?
|
All |
| 5 | Turn the ignition off. Make sure the Pump Motor connector is secure. Remove the ABS PUMP Fuse.
NOTE:
The CAB must be connected for the results of this test to be valid. Measure the resistance between Fused (B)+ circuit and ground. Is the resistance open?
|
All |
| 6 | Turn the ignition off. Remove the ABS PUMP Fuse. Disconnect the CAB harness connector.
NOTE:
Check connector - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the Fused B (+) circuit between the ABS PUMP Fuse Terminal and the CAB harness connector. Is the resistance below 5 ohms?
|
All |
| 7 | Turn the ignition on. Measure the voltage of the B(+) supply at the ABS PUMP Fuse terminal. Is the voltage above 11 volts?
|
All |
| 8 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the ABS Pump Motor connector. Connect a 10 gauge jumper wire between ABS Pump Motor Fused B (+) circuit and a 40 Amp Fused B (+) circuit. Connect a 10 gauge jumper wire between ABS Pump Motor ground circuit and ground. Monitor ABS Pump Motor operation. Is the ABS Pump Motor operating?
|
All |
| 9 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the CAB harness connector.
NOTE:
Check connector - Clean/repair as necessary. Measure the resistance of the CAB Ground circuits. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
|
All |
| 10 | Make sure the ABS Pump Motor connector is secure. Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, enable ABS Pump Motor actuation.
NOTE:
ABS Pump Motor will not operate, but voltage will be applied. Measure the voltage drop across the ABS Ground circuit connection, with ABS Pump Motor actuation enabled. Is the voltage below 0.1 volt?
|
All |
| 11 | Turn the ignition off. Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Make sure the Pump Motor connecter is secure. Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals. Refer to any Hotline letters or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. Were any problems found?
