Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Retrieval:

1. Disconnect the service check connector from the connector cover located behind the front of the center console. Connect the two terminals of the service check connector with a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON, but do not start the engine.
3. Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator light. The blinking frequency indicates the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION: Before starting the engine, disconnect the jumper wire from the service check connector, or else the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will stay ON with the engine running.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Blinking Frequency Chart:

NOTE:
- The ABS control unit can only indicate three DTCs at a time (one, two or three problems).
- If the ABS indicator light does not light, refer to ABS Light Testing. Testing and Inspection
- If you miscount the blinking frequency, turn the ignition switch OFF then ON to cycle the ABS indicator light again.
- After the repair is completed, disconnect the ABS B2 (15 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for at least three seconds to erase the ABS control unit's memory. Then turn the ignition key ON again and recheck.
- The memory is erased if the connector is disconnected from the ABS control unit or the ABS control unit is removed from the body.
- After recording the DTC (if applicable), DTC List - Brakes and Traction Control
