Diagnostic System Check

Circuit Description
The ABS Diagnostic System Check is an organized approach to identifying problems associated with the EBCM. This must be the starting point for any ABS related concern and will direct you to the next logical step in diagnosing a malfunction. Most system malfunctions are linked to faulty wiring, connections and occasionally, to components. Understanding the ABS system and using the diagnostic tables correctly will reduce diagnostic time and prevent unnecessary parts replacement.
