Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Abs Diagnostic Mode
To enter diagnostic mode, a vehicle speed must be below 10 km/h (6 MPH) and no ABS condition present. If vehicle speed is not below 10 km/h (6 MPH), a "No Response" message could be displayed by the DRBIII®. The following are characteristics of diagnostic mode:
- The amber ABS warning indicator will blink rapidly. If a hard trouble code, such as Battery Voltage Out of Range code is present, the indicator will be illuminated without blinking until the trouble condition is cleared.
- Antilock operation is disabled.
- The HCU valves cannot be actuated when the vehicle speed is above 8 km/h (5 MPH). If valve actuation is attempted above 8 km/h (5 MPH), a "No Response" message will be displayed on the DRBIII®.
