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.
Diagnostic Procedure
Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1 (terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 may be used on 2000 models). If voltage is 10-14 volts, circuit is okay. If ABS warning light does not blink even after terminals are connected, malfunction may exist in ABS ECU. If voltage is not 10-14 volts, check for open or short circuit in wiring harness between ABS ECU and appropriate DLC terminals, or between ground and appropriate DLC terminals. See WIRING DIAGRAMSΒ . Repair as necessary. If wiring harness is okay, replace ABS ECU.
