-------------------------------------------------

Checking the connectors
Check connector 54/3 and the connector in the ABS control module. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults. Check for loose connections according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults. Remedy if necessary.
Check for any damage.

Hint: If the fault cause is found, reinstall the components, connectors etc.
If the fault cause is not found, do not reinstall the ABS module.

Other information:
- To access the ABS control module connector, see
- To access connector 54/3, see the relevant wiring diagrams. (Also see illustration.).









Was a fault detected?

Yes - DONE

No - Open-circuit in the control area network (CAN) bus. High speed network

-------------------------------------------------

Open-circuit in the control area network (CAN) bus. High speed network





Open-circuit in Control area network bus. High speed network. Intermittent fault

Checking the high speed network
The fault source on the bus cable may be a long way from where the check is carried out. Therefore start the check at one end of the cable and work through the bus system methodically until the fault is found.

Other information
- To access the bus cable see the relevant wiring diagram.
Check the bus cable for open-circuits and loose connections according to: Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults Remember that the CAN network is only a communication network. There are no fuses, contact breakers or sensors on the CAN bus.

Hint: If the fault is detected before all the following cables have been examined, the following cables need not be checked.

Hint: If possible, measure from the rear of the affected connectors so that they are not damaged.

The following cables and connectors must be examined to localize the open-circuit:

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - Fault Found
