If the customer comments that the ABS indicator is ON only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the wheel speed sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion. Also, a condition may result in a stored history DTC C0055, this DTC can set if a customer turns the ignition key from the RUN position to the ACCESSORY and leaves it for more than 1 second. The DTC may be stored in history due to a software condition in the EBCM, and no repairs are necessary. If the ABS indicator illuminates intermittently, clear all DTCs and simulate the effects of water intrusion by using the following procedure:
- Spray the suspected area with a 5 percent saltwater solution. To create a 5 percent saltwater solution, add 2 teaspoons of salt to 8 fl oz of water (10 g of salt to 200 ml of water).
- Test drive the vehicle over various road surfaces: bumps, turns, etc., above 40 km/h (25 mph) for at least 30 seconds.
- Rinse the area thoroughly when completed.
