Pinpoint Test B: The ABS Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool
Normal Operation
The ABS module communicates with the scan tool through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- ABS module
PINPOINT TEST B : THE ABS MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings.
B1 CHECK THE ABS MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: ABS Module C135.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the ABS module C135-30, circuit CBB54 (VT/OG), harness side and ground; and between the ABS module C135-25, circuit SBB86 (BN/RD), harness side and ground.
Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to B2.
No
VERIFY the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuses 86 (25A) and 54 (10A) are OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool. [1][2]Diagrams By Number
B2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the ABS module C135-13, circuit GD163 (BK/GY) and C135-38, circuit GD163 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.
Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to B3.
No
REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
B3 CHECK THE HS-CAN (High Speed Controller Area Network) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE ABS MODULE AND THE DLC (Data Link Connector) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between the ABS module C135-5, circuit VDB04 (WH/BU), harness side and the DLC (Data Link Connector) C251-6, circuit VDB04 (WH/BU), harness side.
- Measure the resistance between the ABS module C135-6, circuit VDB05 (WH), harness side and the DLC (Data Link Connector) C251-14, circuit VDB05 (WH), harness side.
Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes
CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to B4.
No
REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
B4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect the ABS module connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the ABS module connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new ABS module. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
