ABS Main Relay: Description and Operation

ABS FUSES
The fuse for the ABS pump motor and the ABS system are located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to the sticker on the inside of the PDC cover for the location of the ABS pump motor and the ABS system fuse in the PDC. The PDC is located on the drivers side of the engine compartment between the back of the battery and the strut tower.

ABS RELAYS
On this vehicle three relays are used to control the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System. The three relays are the pump motor relay, the system relay, and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay. The pump motor relay and the system relay are located in the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is located in the PDC. If either the pump motor relay or the system relay is diagnosed as not functioning properly the CAB will need to be replaced. If the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is diagnosed as not functioning properly it can be replaced as a separated relay in the PDC.
