How-to diagnose your ABS light

[absntmnd69]

If you are having the same problem as me, then this will help you. This write-up is designed to show you how to check and clear codes from the ABS Control Unit.

Supplies Needed:
A piece of wire with both ends stripped
And yes...once again, Common Sense

1. Disconnect the Service Connector from behind the center console.

Thier are two connectors. One is for the CEL and the other is for ABS. The ABS connector is the one closest to the passenger side.

2. Use the wire that you've got to jumper the connector. The wire should look like this:

And when the connector is jumpered it should look like this:

2. Turn the the key to the "ON" position, but DO NOT START THE ENGINE.

3. Count the number of time that the ABS light blinks. Main codes (1-9) are displayed by long blinks. Sub-Codes (10-74) are displayed by short, fast blinks.

4. After repair has been done, disconnect the ABS B2 15A fuse in the underhood fuse block for at least 3 seconds.

After you have removed the fuse, the ABS Control Module has been erased.

I just did this and I found out the trouble is with my right rear wheel sensor. I've tried looking online to get an idea of how much it would cost to buy a replacement one. Any thoughts?
