Rear Antilock Brakes (RABS)






1. Connect EEC-IV 60-Pin Breakout Box to the EHCU with ABS Adapter Cable.
2. Disconnect the rear anti-lock brake sensor.
3. Check the harness for short to ground.

1 NOTE: Use 88 Digital Multimeter with the minimum resistance hold feature enabled for this test.





Monitor the resistance between EEC-IV 60-Pin Breakout Box pins and ground as follows:

2 Drive over rough roads at various speeds.
3 If there is continuity between either circuit and ground, repair the circuit for a short to ground.

4. Check harness for open circuit.

1 NOTE: Connect jumper securely to the rear sensor connector.

Connect a jumper between the two pins on the rear sensor connector.

2 NOTE: Use 88 Digital Multimeter with the maximum resistance hold feature enabled for this test.





Monitor the resistance between EEC-IV 60-Pin Breakout Box pins as follows:

3 Drive over rough roads at various speeds.
4 If there is open circuit detected between pins, repair the circuit(s) for an open circuit.

5. Check suspect sensor electrical connector.

1 NOTE: Use 88 Digital Multimeter with the maximum resistance hold feature enabled for this test.





Monitor the resistance between suspect anti-lock brake sensor terminals while wiggling the electrical connector:

2 If the resistance is above specifications, replace the anti-lock brake sensor.
3 NOTE: Use 88 Digital Multimeter with the minimum resistance hold feature enabled for this test.





Monitor the resistance between rear anti-lock brake sensor terminals while wiggling the electrical connector:

4 If the resistance is below specifications, replace the rear anti-lock brake sensor.

5 NOTE: Use 88 Digital Multimeter with the minimum resistance hold feature enabled for this test.

Monitor the resistance between an anti-lock brake sensor terminal and ground on the highest resistance scale of the meter, while wiggling the electrical connector.
6 If the meter shows anything but open circuit, replace the rear anti-lock brake sensor.
