ABS problem

[CrappieCruncher]

ABS troubles.

I replaced a bad sensor on the passenger front. and the ABS light is on. the dealer is saying 115.00 just for a diagnostic. I found this method of shorting out terminal #5 & #15 on the computer port and getting code blinks on the dash from the net.

The code that I am getting is a solid light and then two blinks. any Idea what this could be? When I removed the jumper wire it was supposed to clear the code. but the light remains.

I am only getting the ABS light not the other two amigos.

Also I have replaced the Master Cylinder and front brake pads and passenger caliper.

Any idea on the code?

Read below, it doesn't sound like you got the codes.

Turn off the ignition before you start. Using the screwdriver, Take the side panel off the seat pedestal on the drivers side. There are 3-4 screws holding it on. You then need to pull the ABS warning Relay. Its a small square plug that has a green base and is the relay closest to the front of the seat.

Under the seat, you will find a small 4 pin connector near the back of the seat pedestal. It is blue. You want to connect the small wire between two holes. One hole has a black wire with a pink stripe. The other hole has a black wire. Bridge these two together and turn on the ignition. The ABS light will light, and then go out after 5 seconds. The ABS light will then start to blink in a pattern.

The pattern is: Pause, flash, pause, flash. This signifies the start of the pattern. Then there will be a 2.5 second pause and then a series of flashes which gives the first number of the code (2-6). This will be followed by a 2.5 second pause, and then a series of flashes for the second part of the number (0-15).

The sequence of start phase, first and second parts will continue until terminated by the operator, thus allowing the code obtained to be rechecked. To terminate the sequence disconnect the prewired plug from the diagnoostic plug. Wait for cycle to end before code will clear. NOTE: Termination will clear the memory of that particular fault. Do not terminate the sequence if unsure of the code number.

The memory is capable of storing more than one fault. To search the memory, reconnect the diagnostic plug, and await the next start phase. Repeat procedure until no further faults are stored in the memory. The memory is cleared when a long pause of 7.5 secs occurs after start phase.

Will this work on a D2?

IIRC this info is for a D2.

I just got in from checking it out. Though I don't have any probs with the abs, I wanted to check it out for when I DO have these issues. I can't seem to find any of what you are talking about Joey. I pulled the panel off (D side) and up front is the seat relay and fuses. I looked to the back and found plugs but none of which are blue with black wires and or stripes. I must be missing something here. Could it be in a different location? This is something I really do want to know about. Thanks

Here is the entire document.

Diagnosing ABS Faults is actually rather easy. Here is the basic procedure:


Tools

Small phillips screwdriver
Short peice of wire (6" or so if fine)

The procedure

Turn off the ignition before you start. Using the screwdriver, Take the side panel off the seat pedestal on the drivers side. There are 3-4 screws holding it on. You then need to pull the ABS warning Relay. Its a small square plug that has a green base and is the relay closest to the front of the seat.

Guess what? I shoulda kept my mouth shut. Got the infamous 3 shinning me in the face today after changing my diff fluids. I went and checked that out again and I still can't find it. I don't see any green plug relays or blue plugs with black\pink, black wires. I checked the other side too just in case that was for right side drive but nothing. Has anyone done this before? Is it different for an 00? I could take pics to post if that would help. Thanks
