No Response From Cab Controller

  1. Using scan tool, select PASSIVE RESTRAINTS, then select AIRBAG. Monitor scan tool display. Select ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. If scan tool displays version and/or part number for either module, go to next step. If scan tool does not display version and/or part number for either module, go to COMPLETE PCI BUS FAILURE  .
  2. Remove and inspect junction block fuse No. 19. If fuse is blown, go to next step. If fuse is okay, go to 6)  .
  3. Visually inspect Dark Blue/Pink wire from Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) to junction block. Ensure harness is not damaged or chafing against ground source. Repair as needed. If harness is okay, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition off. Remove junction block fuse No. 19. Disconnect CAB connector. Connect test light between 12 volts and terminal No. 4 (Dark Blue/Pink wire) on CAB harness connector. If test light is illuminated, repair Dark Blue/Pink wire for short to ground. If light is not illuminated, test is complete.
  5. Ensure ignition is off. Remove driver's side knee blocker below steering column. Disconnect junction port splice connector. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance of Yellow/Violet wire between terminal No. 10 on CAB harness connector and terminal No. 2 on junction port. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open Yellow/Violet/Orange wire.
  6. Ensure junction block fuse No. 19 is removed. Measure resistance of Dark Blue/Pink wire between terminal No. 4 on CAB harness connector and fused ignition switch output terminal on fuse No. 19 socket. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open Dark Blue/Pink wire.
  7. Measure resistance between ground and terminals No. 8 and 24 (Black/Orange wires) on CAB harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms for both circuits, replace CAB. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater on either circuit, repair suspect open circuit.
