- Ignition off
- Expose the ABS control module. See Replacing the control module for ABS and dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC)
- Disconnect the ABS/DSTC control module by pulling out the catch on the front edge of the connector (engine side). Pull straight out so that the catches release and the connector rises
- Check the control module and control module connectors to ensure that the male and female terminals are undamaged and secure (cannot be pressed in). Check that the cables to the female terminals are secured to the terminal pins
- In particular, check the terminal pins relevant to the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)/symptom. See Signal specification, ABS/DSTC (dynamic stability and traction control) control module
- Connect adapter
9511518
to the control module connector (wiring side). Connect breakout box
9511428
to the adapter
- The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the control module is connected; and cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuits and damage to the connector pins.
