Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes

  1. Ensure battery is fully charged. Turn ignition on. ABS warning light should illuminate and then go out after 3 seconds. If ABS warning light does not illuminate, check ABS warning light circuit. See ABS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT  under SYSTEM TESTS.
  2. Disconnect short pin from Data Link Connector No. 1 (DLC1). See Fig 1. DLC1 is located in left side of engine compartment, next to strut tower. Using a fused jumper wire or Service Connector (SST 09843-18020), connect terminals Tc and E1 of Data Link Connector No. 1 (DLC1) or Data Link Connector No. 2 (DLC2). See Fig 2. DLC2 is located under left side of instrument panel, near kick panel.
  3. Turn ignition on. If a malfunction is detected, ABS warning light will begin to flash a 2-digit DTC after 4 seconds. ABS warning light will flash first digit, followed by a 1.5 second pause and then light will flash second digit.
  4. Count number of flashes to obtain digits of 2-digit code. If 2 or more codes are stored, a 2.5 second pause will separate codes. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION  table for code diagnosis.
  5. If ABS is functioning properly, a normal code will be set. During normal code, 2 seconds will elapse, and then ABS warning light will blink once every .25 second.
  6. After replacing or repairing malfunctioning components, clear diagnostic trouble codes. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
