Retrieving Trouble Codes

Ensure ignition switch is in RUN position (engine does not need to be running). Locate Black RABS test connector. See the COMPONENT LOCATIONS  table. Connector has 2 mating halves. One has a Black/Orange wire; other has a Red wire. Disconnect connector. Connect jumper wire to connector terminal with Black/Orange wire. Ground other end of jumper wire for 2 seconds. When ground circuit is completed then broken, Yellow REAR ANTI-LOCK warning light will flash trouble code.

Code will repeat until ignition is turned off. Code consists of a number of short flashes followed by one long flash. Count each flash, short and long, to determine code number. For example: short, short, long, is Code 3. Perform corresponding code test after retrieving code. A Code 16 indicates system is operating properly. If Yellow light does not flash, go to TEST D - YELLOW LIGHT CHECK OKAY, BUT DOESN'T FLASH TROUBLE CODE under PRECHECK TESTS  .
