Checking the ground terminals





Connecting the breakout box

Connecting the breakout box




- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the ABS control module by pressing in the catch on the rear edge of the cover (wheel arch side). Carefully turn the cover upwards so that the locking catches release.
- Check control module and control module connector to ensure that: Male and female terminals are undamaged and properly attached (cannot be pressed in). Female terminal cables are correctly connected to the terminals.
- Pay particular attention to the terminals related to the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)/symptom.
- Connect adapter 951 1354 Adapter 25-pin ABS 850 951 1354 Adapter 25-Pin ABS 850 to the control module connector (wiring side) and connect breakout box 951 1428 Breakout box 951 1428 Breakout Box to the adapter.
- Control module disconnected.
- Then check ground terminals.

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

Checking ground terminals








- Ignition off.
- Switch off all equipment that takes power from the battery (courtesy lighting, radio etc).




- Connect an ohmmeter between battery negative terminal and #8 and #24 on the breakout box.
ohms
The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 for all readings.

OK - Return to the fault-tracing procedure where it was interrupted.

Not OK - Check ground terminal 1/1 (battery negative terminal) and cable between ground terminal and control module #8 and #24, for an open-circuit and contact resistance.-Return to the fault-tracing procedure where it was interrupted.

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

Reading is OK
- Return to the fault-tracing procedure where it was interrupted.

Select "Continue".

Continue - Fault Found

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

Value is not OK
- Check ground terminal 1/1 (battery negative terminal) and cable between ground terminal and control module #8 and #24, for an open-circuit and contact resistance.
- Return to the fault-tracing procedure where it was interrupted.

Select "Continue".

Continue - Fault Found

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

FAULT FOUND - Checking the 15-supply to the control module
