Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module
The ABS module is on the high speed CAN. The ABS module controls the brake pressure to the 4 wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. If one of the bus wires becomes shorted to ground or voltage, communications can continue at a reduced level. Check the high speed CAN circuits 1908 (WH) and 1909 (BK), between the ABS module C155 and the DLC C251. Total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, there is an open circuit in the high speed CAN, damage to the DLC C251, damage to the ABS module C155, or a problem in the in-line connector.
