Diagnostic Test
1. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE OF THE ESP BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT





Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the CAB harness connector. Disconnect the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 harness connector.

Note: Check connectors -Clean/repair as necessary. Turn the ignition on. Measure the voltage of the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 Signal circuit at the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 harness connector.

Is the voltage below 1.0 volt?
Yes >> Go to 2
No >> Repair the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 Signal circuit for a short to voltage. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

2. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE ESP BRAKE PRESSURE 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND THE 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT

No >> Repair the Sensor Ground circuit for an open. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test

5. MEASURE THE VOLTAGE OF THE 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT





With the ignition off. Reconnect the CAB harness connector. Turn the ignition on. Measure the voltage of the 5-Volt Supply circuit at the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 harness connector.
Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.0 volts?
Yes >> Go to 6
No >> Go to 8

6. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE BETWEEN GROUND AND THE ESP BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT





Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the CAB harness connector.

Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Measure the resistance between ground and the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 Signal circuit.
Is the resistance below 100k ohms?
Yes >> Repair the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 Signal circuit for a short to ground. Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST. ABS Verification Test
No >> Go to 7

7. MEASURE THE RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE ESP BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND THE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT





With the ignition off. Measure the resistance between the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 Signal circuit and the Sensor Ground circuit in the ESP Brake Pressure Sensor 1 harness connector.
