Code 14 - Abs Enable Relay Contact Circuit Open: Notes

Ignition voltage is supplied through ABS enable relay. EBCM/EBTCM energizes pull-in coil by completing ground circuit at EBCM/EBTCM ABS relay control terminal. Magnetic field created will close ABS enable relay contacts to supply battery voltage to EBCM/EBTCM, providing power to motors and solenoids.

Code 14 can be set anytime after EBCM/EBTCM commands ABS enable relay on. This test checks availability of current/voltage to motors and solenoids. Code 14 indicates voltage is not available, and ABS operation is not possible. When a malfunction code is stored, ABS is disabled and ABS warning light illuminated.

1. Checks if Code 16 is also set as current or history. If Code 16 is present, proceed to that chart first.
2. Verifies if malfunction is currently present.
3. Verifies ABS enable relay can be turned on and provide voltage to EBCM/EBTCM.
4. Checks for high resistance in switched battery input circuit from ABS enable relay to EBCM/EBTCM.
5. Checks for high resistance in switched battery circuit from battery to ABS enable relay.
6. Verifies condition of ABS enable relay.
7. Checks for poor terminal contact or corrosion at connectors.
8. Determines if EBCM/EBTCM is the cause of malfunction.
9. Checks for high resistance in entire relay coil circuit.
10. Verifies proper battery condition.
11. Verifies proper voltage is available at ABS enable relay.
12. Checks for an open in switched battery input circuit from relay to EBCM/EBTCM.
13. Verifies condition of ABS enable relay.
14. Checks for proper resistance of relay coil.
15. Checks for high resistance in ABS enable relay control circuit between ABS enable relay and EBCM/EBTCM.
16. Checks for high resistance in ABS enable relay control circuit between battery and ABS enable relay.
