Using ABS Warning Light

  1. Disconnect short pin from Data Link Connector No. 1 (DLC1). See Fig 1. DLC1 is located on left side of engine compartment, behind ECM box.
  2. Using a fused jumper wire or Service Connector (SST 09843-18020), connect terminals Tc and E1 of Data Link Connector No. 1 (DLC1). See Fig 1.
  3. Turn ignition on. If a malfunction is detected, ABS and VSC OFF warning light will begin to flash a 2-digit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) after 4 seconds. ABS and VSC OFF warning light will flash first digit, followed by a 1.5 second pause and then 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. If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time, lowest numbered DTC will be displayed first. Identify DTC and perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION  table.
  5. If ABS/TRAC/VSC system 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 . Turn ignition off. Remove fused jumper wire or Service Connector (SST 09843-18020) from DLC1.
