- Make sure the power steering system is free from leaks and is operating correctly.
- Make sure the HydroMax unit is free from leaks.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.
- CR1: CHECK THE ABS MODULE DTCS
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
Carry out the ABS self-test.
- Is DTC C1050:9E present?
Yes No Go to CR2. If DTC C1050:9F is present, Go to CR3.
If DTC C1057:13 is present, Go to CR3.
