Abs Fault Reset -- Di

[greg409]

I've searched here & not found a thread for this, so forgive me.

I've had an intermittent abs light for months, brakes great, abs worked.

I repacked my hubs two weeks ago, and reset abs wheel sensors when done.

I noticed the abs light went off most of the time, as it should, but would come on at times just driving down the road.

I found several different threads re: clearing abs faults with a jumper. (affectionately called the blink test)

Example was a 1997 DI, like mine.

Screw it, I did it, it seems to have worked fine.

I tried all the manuvers that likely would cause it - I cannot get it to trip on.

I jumped terminals 5 & 15 on the obd-II (5= fifth from right, bottom row -- 15 = 2nd from left top row) KEY OFF

Get a pencil ready, KEY to run (pos 2) watch abs light blink.
It will blink 2 digits, giving you the fault

It was that simple

I hate typing (honest), so do a search for "abs blink test" or resetting discovery abs faults, etc.

There's lists of fault codes and methods for other DI's.

luck,greg

Thanx,tho'

I tried that on my 97 a few weeks ago and got nothing.

I tried that on my 97 a few weeks ago and got nothing.

I don't know, Tom, it seems (I've driven several times since yesterday) to have worked.

I usually make a full lock left u-turn in front of my house (80% chance of tripping), I've made 3 since process with no light.
I did my hubs a week ago, it was still tripping after that.(but not since blink test.

I've driven thru my favorite *** holes and no light.

I was getting a 2 - 8 code - I also unplugged, cleaned (not dirty) the connection to the abs mod.

Did you not even get blink codes? but have an abs light on?

luck,greg

ABS light reset

Hello Greg, I tried jumping terminal 5 and 15 and it blinked the code so my question is, will it aurtomatically reset after I pull the jump? do I pull it after key off or while key is on?
