NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.

  1. Q1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM THE ABS MODULE

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the ABS module self-test.

    Is DTC C1B14:11, C1B14:12 or U3000:47 present? 

    Yes  GO to Pinpoint Test AE .
    No  If DTC C101A:2A or 62 is present, GO to  Q2. If DTC C101A:1C or 2F is present, GO to  Q3. For all other DTCs, REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control .
  2. Q2 CHECK THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND VACUUM HOSES FOR LEAKS

    • Inspect the vacuum hoses, brake booster and brake booster seals for leaks or evidence of leaks.

    Are any leaks or evidence of leaks found? 

    Yes  REPAIR or INSTALL new components as necessary.
    No  GO to  Q3.
  3. Q3 CHECK THE VACUUM SENSOR WIRING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect ABS module C135 .
    • Disconnect Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor electrical connector.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:

      C149-1

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new brake booster vacuum sensor. REFER to Power Brake Actuation . DRIVE the vehicle at speeds greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) for at least 4 minutes and CARRY OUT at least 3 stops. REPEAT the ABS module self-test. If DTC C101A:1C, C101A:2A, C101A:2F or C101A:62 returns, GO to  Q7.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  7. Q7 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect the ABS module C135 .
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Connect the ABS module C135 . Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern and the vehicle is not equipped with adaptive cruise control, INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module . If no TSBs address this concern and the vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control, INSTALL a new ABS module and HCU. REFER to Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
