If no fault is detected with test adapter, problem may be an interrupted wire or loose connection in speed sensor cables or ABS wiring harness.
Perform TESTS 4-6 with test adapter and DVOM (internal resistance of speed sensors). While testing, move cable at coaxial plug at cable connector and speed sensor. If ohmmeter indicates a break or loose connection, replace speed sensor and coaxial cable, or tighten cable connector.
