1997 Eagle Talon Base, AutomaticFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Component Testing: Abs-Ecu

NOTE: DO NOT short circuit or check resistance of wrong terminals, as it may damage a sensor, wiring, or ABS-ECU.
  1. To check voltage or resistance on ABS-ECU terminals, use Adapter Harness (MB991356). Terminal arrangements on ABS-ECU and special tool will be reversed. Use terminals from special tool when testing (for example, for testing ABS-ECU connector terminal No. 18, use terminal No. 1 on special tool). See Fig 1 .

  2. Leaving ABS-ECU connected, turn ignition on. Use a needle-nosed voltmeter wire probe to backprobe ABS-ECU terminals. Ensure voltage is as specified. See ABS-ECU VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS table. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check related sensor, actuator and wiring. Repair as necessary.

  3. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect ABS-ECU connector. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between indicated ABS-ECU wiring harness terminals. Use Adapter Harness (MB991356) for checking contact pin pressure instead of inserting a test probe. See ABS-ECU RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. SeeFig 1 and Figure . If resistance is as specified, ABS-ECU is okay. If resistance is not as specified, check related sensor, actuator and wiring. Repair as necessary.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
