Retrieving ABS Trouble Codes

  1. Verify ABS warning light is on, indicating a malfunction. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester or equivalent to ABS data link connector located under steering column. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
  2. Read and record all trouble codes. After first code is displayed, remaining codes will be displayed in 15-second intervals. Ensure all trouble codes are read and recorded. Failure to do so may result in unnecessary repairs and wasted diagnostic time.
  3. If any codes are present, see TROUBLE CODE DIRECTORY  under TROUBLE CODE TESTS. Perform appropriate test. SYSTEM PASS indicates system is functioning properly. If SYSTEM PASS is present and system is not functioning properly, go to SYMPTOM TESTS  . If no trouble codes are present (no communication), go to TEST V  under TROUBLE CODE TESTS.
