1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Test-drive the vehicle. Drive the vehicle at 13 mph (20 km/h) or more, and go a distance of 328 ft (100 m) or more.

Is DTC 12-12, 14-12, 16-12, and/or 18-12 indicated?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals between the wheel speed sensor 2P connector and the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Disconnect VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector.
7. Check for continuity between the appropriate VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector wheel speed sensor +B terminals (see table).








Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wires between the appropriate wheel speed sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.

NO - Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector. If necessary, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit, and retest.
