- Using Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-R0051 or equivalent set to K ohms, connect one lead to breakout box pin 5 as the reference, measure the resistance of suspect front brake anti-lock sensor or rear brake anti-lock sensor as indicated in the chart below.

Pin
1 8 (W/R) RH Front Sensor
9 9 (BR/R) RH Front Sensor
3 8 (W) LH Front Sensor
10 9 (BR) LH Front Sensor
2 8 (W/GN) RH Rear Sensor
17 9 (BR/GN) RH Rear Sensor
8 8 (W/BL) LH Rear Sensor
16 9 (BR/BL) LH Rear Sensor

- Is resistance less than 10K ohms?

YES -- Service suspect circuit for short to ground. Clear all DTCs. Restore vehicle. Retest system.

NO -- Leave equipment installed. Go to E3. E3 Measure ABS Sensor Resistance
