DTC 35

ABS DTC 35: Solenoid
1. Verify the DTC.
Is DTC 54 indicated?
YES - Do the appropriate troubleshooting for DTC 54.
NO - Go to step 2.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect the modulator unit connector and ABS/ TCS control unit connector C (12P).





4. Check for continuity between appropriate ABS/TCS control unit connector C (12P) solenoid circuit terminal and body ground (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the appropriate solenoid circuit wire between the ABS/ TCS control unit and the modulator unit.
NO - Go to step 5.
5. Connect the modulator unit connector.





6. Check for continuity between appropriate ABS/TCS control unit connector C (12P) solenoid circuit terminal and body ground (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Replace the modulator unit.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Disconnect the modulator unit connector.





8. Connect the appropriate modulator unit connector solenoid circuit terminal to body ground with a jumper wire (see table).





9. Check for continuity between the appropriate ABS/ TCS control unit connector C (12P) solenoid circuit terminal and body ground (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 10.
NO - Repair open in the appropriate solenoid circuit wire between the ABS/TCS control unit and the modulator unit.
10. Remove the jumper wire from the modulator unit connector.
11. Connect the modulator unit connector.





12. Connect ABS fail-safe relay connector terminal No. 2 to body ground with a jumper wire.

NOTE: Wire colors of the ABS fail-safe relay connector; WHT/GRN, BRN/BLK, BLK, YEL/GRN.





13. Check resistance between appropriate ABS/TCS control unit connector C (12P) terminal and body ground (see table).
IN: 8 - 10 ohms (at 20° C, 68° F)
OUT: 3 - 5 ohms (at 20° C, 68° F)
Is there resistance OK?
YES - Go to step 14.
NO - Replace the modulator unit.
14. Disconnect the modulator unit connector, and remove the jumper wire from the ABS fail-safe relay connector terminal.








15. Check for continuity between appropriate ABS/TCS control unit connector C (12P) terminal and all other ABS and TCS solenoid circuit terminals (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the appropriate wires between the ABS/TCS control unit and the modulator unit.
NO - Go to step 16.
16. Connect the modulator unit connector.








17. Check for continuity between appropriate ABS/TCS control unit connector C (12P) terminal and all other ABS and TCS solenoid circuit terminals (see table).
Is there less than 3 ohms?
YES - Replace the modulator unit.
NO - Check for loose ABS/TCS control unit connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good ABS/TCS control unit, and recheck.
