  1. I1 MONITOR THE PCM BRAKE ON/OFF (BOO) PID 
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - PCM.
    • Press and release the brake pedal while monitoring the BOO PID.
    • Does the PID switch to ON with the brake pedal pressed and then to OFF with the brake pedal released? 
  2. I2 REVIEW THE ABS MODULE DTCs 
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Clear All ABS Module DTCs.

    • Are the ABS-to- HCU mating surfaces undamaged and free of contamination or corrosion? 
  6. I6 CHECK THE ABS MAIN BRAKE PRESSURE (MPRETDR) PID 
    • If not already done, separate the ABS module from the HCU. Refer to Removal and Installation .
    • With the ABS module separated from the HCU, connect ABS module C135.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - ABS Module.
    • Monitor the MPRETDR PID.
    • Is the PID value at 0? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new HCU. REFER to Removal and Installation . CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
