id0403a5810200

5

ABS warning light stays on 4 s or more when ignition switch turned to ON position

POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  ABS HU/CM DTC is stored
•  ABS HU/CM malfunction (open or short to ground in ABS HU/CM internal circuit)
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between ABS HU/CM terminal Y, Z and DLC-2
•  Short to power supply in wiring harness between ABS HU/CM terminal D and body ground
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between ABS HU/CM terminal D and body ground
•  ABS HU/CM malfunction (ABS HU/CM internal communication circuit malfunction)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS HU/CM AND DLC‐2 FOR CONTINUITY AND SHORTS
•  Perform the Reading DTCs Procedure.
•  Is the error message displayed regarding communication between ABS HU/CM and M-MDS?
Yes
If a communication error message is displayed even after inspecting according to the procedure displayed on the M-MDS, go to Step 4.
No
Go to the next step.
2
CONFIRM ABS HU/CM DTC
•  Perform the Reading DTCs Procedure.
•  Are any DTC present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT WARNING LIGHT OPERATION
•  Turn on the all warning light on instrument cluster using the instrument cluster input/output check code 26.
•  Do the ABS and brake system warning light illuminate?
Yes
Replace the ABS HU/CM (open or short to ground in ABS HU/CM internal circuit).
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
*4
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS HU/CM AND DLC‐2 FOR CONTINUITY
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Inspect for continuity between ABS HU/CM terminal Y, Z and DLC-2 (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit.
*5
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS HU/CM AND DLC‐2 FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).
•  Measure the voltage at ABS HU/CM terminal Y, Z (wiring harness-side).
•  Is the voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply.
No
Go to the next step.
*6
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS HU/CM AND DLC‐2 FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Inspect for continuity between ABS HU/CM terminal Y, Z (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
No
Replace the ABS HU/CM (ABS HU/CM internal communication circuit malfunction).

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, slightly shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, verify that the connectors, terminals and wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged.
