ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM 

         Brakelight Switch
         Turn ignition on. Apply brakes. Check for 12 volts between
terminals No. 12 and 1. If 12 volts are present, brakelight switch is
okay. If 12 volts are not present, check fuse, brakelight switch and
Black/Red wire from brakelight switch to ECU.

         Hydraulic Modulator/Pump Relay Voltage Test
         1) Turn ignition off. Unplug hydraulic modulator/pump
connector. Depress brake pedal 25 times. Turn ignition on. Using a
voltmeter, measure voltage between ECU connector terminals No. 1 and
32. See Fig. 2. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to RIGHT REAR WHEEL
SPEED SENSOR VOLTAGE TEST under SYSTEM TESTING.
         2) If voltage is less than 10 volts, check hydraulic
modulator/pump fuse. If fuse is okay, check wiring between ECU
connector terminal No. 32 and hydraulic modulator/pump connector
terminal No. 1 (large gauge Red/Black wire). See Figs. 2 and 4. If
wiring is not okay, repair wiring, and retest. If wiring is okay,
replace relay, and retest.

and 22. See Fig. 2. Rotate right rear wheel at one revolution per
second. Measure voltage with wheel rotating. If voltage is 0.075 volt
or more, go to next test. If voltage is less than 0.075 volt, check
wheel speed sensor and/or toothed ring for damage, wear and proper
installation. If damage or wear is found, replace faulty component and
retest. If components are not properly installed, reposition and
retest. If components are okay, replace wheel speed sensor and retest.

         Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Voltage Test
         Connect an AC voltmeter between ECU connector terminals No. 6

second. Measure voltage with wheel rotating. If voltage is 0.075 volt
or more, go to next test. If voltage is less than 0.075 volt, check
wheel speed sensor and/or toothed ring for damage, wear and proper
installation. If damage or wear is found, replace faulty component and
retest. If components are not properly installed, reposition and
retest. If components are okay, replace wheel speed sensor and retest.

         Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Voltage Test
         Connect an AC voltmeter between ECU connector terminals No. 7
and 25. See Fig. 2. Rotate right front wheel at one revolution per
second. Measure voltage with wheel rotating. If voltage is 0.075 volt
or more, go to next test. If voltage is less than 0.075 volt, check
wheel speed sensor and/or toothed ring for damage, wear and improper
installation. If damage or wear is found, replace faulty component,
and retest. If components are improperly installed, reposition
component, and retest. If components are okay, replace wheel speed

         Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Voltage Test
         Connect an AC voltmeter between ECU connector terminals No. 5
and 23. See Fig. 2. Rotate left front wheel at one revolution per
second. Measure voltage with wheel rotating. If voltage is 0.075 volt
or more, go to next test. If voltage is less than 0.075 volt, check
wheel speed sensor and/or toothed ring for damage, wear and proper
installation. If damage or wear is found, replace faulty component and
retest. If components are not properly installed, reposition and
retest. If components are okay, replace wheel speed sensor and retest.

         ECU Relay Continuity Test
         Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity
between ECU connector terminals No. 1 and 3, and between terminals No.
1 and 20. See Fig. 2. If there is continuity at both test points, go
to next test. If there is no continuity at either or both test points,
check wiring. If wiring is faulty, repair and retest. If wiring is
okay, replace relay and retest.

         Solenoid Valves Ground Circuit Continuity Test
         1) Turn ignition off. Remove jumper wire from previous test.
Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between ECU connector
terminals No. 1 and 11. See Fig. 2. If there is continuity, go to step
3).
         2) If continuity does not exist, check for continuity between
ECU connector terminal No. 1 and valve block housing and between
hydraulic modulator and valve block housing. If continuity does not
exist between ECU connector terminal No. 1 and valve block housing,
repair wiring, and retest. If continuity does not exist between
housings, repair as necessary.
         3) Reconnect jumper wire between ECU connector terminals No.
1 and 11. Check for continuity between ECU connector terminal No. 11
and valve block connector terminal No. 1 (Brown wire). See Figs. 2 and
4. If there is no continuity, repair wiring and retest.

         Hydraulic Modulator/Pump Relay Ground Circuit Test
         Turn ignition off. Reconnect pressure switch connector.
Depress brake pedal 20 times. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity
between ECU connector terminals No. 1 and 14. If continuity exists, go
to next test. If continuity does not exist, check for continuity
between pressure switch terminals No. 1 (Brown wire) and No. 4
(Red/Yellow or White wire). See Figs. 1 and 4. If continuity does not
exist, replace pressure switch, and retest. If continuity exists,
check wiring between ECU terminal No. 14 and pressure switch terminal
No. 4. Repair wiring, and retest.

         Low Pressure Warning Switch Test
         Turn ignition off. Ensure brake fluid level is okay and fluid
level sensor switch float is in correct position (switch is in closed
position). Ensure accumulator is fully charged and pump is not
operating. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between ECU
