Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Manufacturer Code Charts: 16

Code 16 is always present, unless a system concern has been detected and a diagnostic trouble code has been stored. This code should be used by the technician to verify that the RABS is OK.

Code 16 will be output by the anti-lock electronic control module when one of two conditions exist:
1. The technician grounds Circuit 571 (BK/O).
2. The RABS Keep-alive Memory (KAM) fuse has blown.

If the KAM fuse has blown, the REAR ABS warning light will begin flashing Code 16 (or a diagnostic trouble code if a concern has been detected) if the stoplight switch is depressed.

Therefore, check the KAM fuse when diagnosing complaints of REAR ABS light flashing.
