STEP 3. Check the CAN bus lines inside the ABS-ECU. 

Measure the resistance at ABS-ECU connector A-02.

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

CAUTION

The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect ABS-ECU connector A-02, and measure the 

resistance at the component side of ABS-ECU connector 
A-02.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer 
to 

P.54C-4

.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(4) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector 

terminals 7 and 23.

OK: 2 ohms or less

(5) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector 

terminals 24 and 25.

OK: 2 ohms or less

CAUTION

Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair proce-
dure. For details refer to 

P.54C-5

.

Q: Do all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : If all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less, power 

supply to the powertrain control module may be 
suspected. Diagnose the engine. Refer to GROUP 
13A, MFI diagnosis 

P.13A-944

 <2.4L engine> or 

GROUP 13B, MFI diagnosis 

P.13B-968

 <3.8L 

engine>.

NO :  If either of the resistances measures more than 2 

ohms or all the resistances measure more than 2 
ohms, replace the ABS-ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 19: Diagnose the lines between CAN main bus line and the ABS-ECU.

CAUTION

When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself 
by touching a metal object such as an unpainted 
water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component con-
nected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.

.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT
If the MUT-III cannot received signals from 
ABS-ECU, CAN bus line connector(s) are broken or 
an open circuit has occurred.

.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The wiring harness wire or connectors may have 
loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector, or the ABS-ECU may 
be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• The ABS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991970: ABS Check Harness

STEP 1. Check intermediate connector C-29 and ABS-ECU 
connector A-02 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, 
or terminals pushed back in the connector.

CAUTION

The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm 
(4 inches) from the connector. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

Q: Are intermediate connector C-29 and ABS-ECU 

connector A-02 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts. Replace the joint 

connector as necessary.

STEP 2. Check the CAN bus lines between intermediate 
connector C-29 and the ABS-ECU. Measure the resistance 
between intermediate connector C-29 and ABS-ECU 

connector A-02.

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

CAUTION

The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect intermediate connector C-29 and ABS-ECU 

connector A-02, and measure the resistance between the 
wiring harness side connector of ABS-ECU connector A-02 
and the male side connector of intermediate connector 
C-29 (at front wiring harness side).

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer 
to 

P.54C-4

.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
