    • Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes 

    GO to K4.

    No 

    REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  4. K4 CHECK THE PRIMARY BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CIRCUITRY FOR A SHORT 
    • Measure the resistance between the primary brake pressure transducer connector pins, harness side as follows:
      CIRCUIT SPECIFICATION

      Primary Brake Pressure Transducer Connector- Pin Circuit
      C147-1 3603 (RD)
      C147-2 3600 (RD/WH)
      C147-3 3601 (WH/RD)

    • Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes 

    GO to K5.

    No 

    REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  5. K5 CHECK THE PRIMARY BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CIRCUITRY FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between the ABS module connector, harness side and the primary brake pressure transducer connector, harness side as follows:
      CIRCUIT SPECIFICATION

      ABS Module Connector-Pin Primary Brake Pressure Transducer Connector-Pin Circuit
      C155-19 C147-1 3603 (RD)
      C155-20 C147-2 3600 (RD/WH)
      C155-18 C147-3 3601 (WH/RD)

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes 

    GO to K6.

    No 

    REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  6. K6 CHECK THE ABS MODULE OUTPUT 
    • Connect: ABS Module C155.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the primary brake pressure transducer C147-3, circuit 3601 (WH/RD), harness side, and the primary brake pressure transducer C147-1, circuit 3603 (RD), harness side.
      Fig 5: Measuring Voltage Between Primary Brake Pressure Transducer C147-3, Circuit 3601 (WH/RD)

    • Is the voltage approximately 5 volts? 

    Yes 

    GO to K7.

    No 

    GO to  K8.

  7. K7 CHECK THE PRIMARY BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER OUTPUT 
    • Connect: Primary Brake Pressure Transducer C147.
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C155.
    • Remove pin 20, circuit 3600 (RD/WH) from the ABS module connector.
    • Connect: ABS Module C155.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the ABS module C155-20, circuit 3600 (RD/WH), harness side and ground, while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
    • Is the voltage between 0.35 and 0.65 volt with the brake pedal released and between 0.65 and 4.5 volts with the brake pedal pressed? 

    Yes 

    GO to K8.

    No 

    INSTALL a new primary brake pressure transducer. REFER to BRAKE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER . CLEAR the DTCs. RECALIBRATE the ABS module. REPEAT the self-test.

  8. K8 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all ABS connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all ABS connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes 

    INSTALL a new ABS module. refer to ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE . TEST the system for normal operation.

    No 

    The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self -test.
