Electronic Brake Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box.2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:-
Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise you will damage the alternator diodes.
-
Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part Number: 08798-9001.3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION:-
Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- 10-megaohm
Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a or higher impedance digital multi meter.Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by tracing the current paths from the power sourcethrough the circuit components to ground. Also, trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the samefuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If theshared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at thesame time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
