reading ABS code flashes?
Hi,
I've seen some posts that a jumper can be added to the ABS module and the flashes can be read on the ABS light for fault codes. Does anybody have information on this?
ABS troubleshooting is a bear, this would make it easier!
Also ABS code readers are expensive & not common. Counting flashes is easy & almost free!
Thanks,
Jerry

From a 2005 post:
"Kelsey-hayes RABS II reapir manual #DA-R-97
It's a little out dated but should work:
"Yellow light check:
When ignition switch returns to run position from the start position, yellow light should turn on for 2 seconds and then turn off. If yellow light turns back on but does not flash, check for stored trouble codes...........
Stored Trouble Codes:
Ensure ignition switch is in the run position (engine does noot need to be running). Locate Black test connector. Connector has 2 mating halves. One has a Black/Orange wire; other has a Red wire. Disconnect connector. Connect jumper wire to terminal with Black/Orange wire. Ground other end of jumper wire for 2 seconds. When ground curcuit is completed then broken, Yellow ABS warning light will flash trouble code. Code will repeat until ignition is turned off. Count all flashes short and long. The last flash is long, then it starts again. A code 16 indicates the system is operating properly."
Location of test connector:
Under far right side of instrument panel, Below right corner of glove box."
Now - if i could just find the dang table of codes LOL!

That procedure is only for RABS system. Since he has 4WABS, it does not apply.
