Pinpoint Test Ab: DTC P185D:00

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged before carrying out this pinpoint test.
  1. AB1 CHECK THE ABS MODULE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR PIDs 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - ABS Module.
    • While driving the vehicle at 30 km/h (18 mph), monitor the following wheel speed sensor PIDs:
      • Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor (LF_WSPD)
      • Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (LR_WSPD)
      • Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor (RF_WSPD)
      • Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (RR_WSPD)
    • Compare the speedometer reading to the wheel speed sensor PIDs.
    • Do the wheel speed sensor PIDs and speedometer speeds match within 1.5 km/h (1 mph)? 
  2. AB2 CHECK RESISTANCE OF THE ELD FIELD COIL 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: ELD Field Coil.
    • NOTE: If the temperatures are exceptionally high, a higher than normal resistance reading could result. A lower temperature could result in a lower resistance reading.

    • Measure the resistance between ELD field coil C4359 pins 1 and 2, component side.
    • Is the resistance between 2-4 ohms? 
  3. AB3 CHECK THE ELD FIELD COIL GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between ELD field coil C4359-2, circuit GD123 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.
