So I've seen a couple posts lately where someone says his ABS light is blinking a code. You don't look them up in the list of engine ECU error codes. The ABS system has it's own list.

You pull these codes the same way you pull check-engine codes, but it's the ABS light that's blinking. Here's the sequence...

Insert the jumper, then turn on the key.
Long (2sec.) flash - long (2sec.) pause - this isn't the code yet.
Short flashes for the first digit of the code - 1sec. pause - short flashes for the 2nd digit.
Long (5-second) pause, then the next code.

(94-97) ABS DTCs...
1 - ABS pump motor over-run
1 2 ABS pump motor
1 3 high pressure leakage
1 4 pressure switch
1 8 high pressure system
2 1 parking brake
3 1 pulser RF
3 2 pulser LF
3 4 pulser RR
3 8 pulser LR
3 12 different diameter tires
4 1 wheel sensor RF
4 2 wheel sensor LF
4 4 wheel sensor RR
4 8 wheel sensor LR
5 - rear wheel lock - R/L
5 4 rear wheel lock - R
5 8 rear wheel lock - L
6 - fail-safe relay - F/R
6 1 fail-safe relay - F
6 4 fail-safe relay - R
7 1 solenoid - RF
7 2 solenoid - LF
7 4 solenoid - R
8 1 ABS function
8 2 CPU comparison
8 4 IC self-check

I just had to edit this, I looked it up in my Helm book. There's NO long flashes, it's all short flashes with short & long pauses in between.

Beginning in '98 there's a whole different ABS system, with a different list of codes.

How do you get ur abs light to flash... Mine just stays on

hmmmmmm im ot really good with that stuff can u explain what that is and where it is

 

anyone?

 

Look above the right kick-panel, stuffed in the corner where the glovebox & kick-panel come together. Find a green rubber holder with 2 blue plastic wiring plugs. They aren't plugged into anything, the green holder only holds them in place. One has 3 wires, one has 2 wires. You want the one with 2 wires.

Turn on the ingition, the idiot lights will come on for a couple seconds. Maybe they'll stay on depending on what's wrong. Take a paperclip or a little peice of wire & jumper them together. If you have any engine errors, the check-engine light will flash a code, look that one up in the list of engine ECU codes. At the same time, the ABS light will flash it's own code. That's what THIS list is for.

 

thanks man so it is behide my glovebox i will have to check it out .. i wonder how i can get behide the glove box (sorry im a newbie) ill find out someway

 

Ok i got a paper clip and i did it in the 2 wires and the check egnige light came on and stayed on then the abs light blinked 4 times and stoped then blinked 8 times so that is 4-8 and that means it is my Wheel Senser on LR that is my Left rear wheel that is the problem, Is that the reason when i start my car my abs makes a nosie?... does anyone know how to fix that ? what do i need to buy and what do i need to do ? It does not seem like a senser is that big of a deal so i think i can fix it with your guys help Thanks for the help

P.s- SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME !!!

I also forgot to say where is the Senser at ? where is the plug for it ... all i need is a new senser and it will fix everything?

 

On the rear, you take off your brake caliper & rotor, then under the hub there's a toothed ring. The sensor sits almost touching that ring. The wire has a couple mounting points but the plug might be inside the car. Follow the wire. Before you get a new sensor you can follow the wire & check for breaks. It'll throw the same code for a broken wire.

The check-engine light turning on continuously just means you don't have any engine error codes...

 

Here are the codes for '98 and up:

11 - wheel senor (open/short to body ground/short to power) FR
13 - wheel senor (open/short to body ground/short to power) FL
15 - wheel senor (open/short to body ground/short to power) RR
17 - wheel senor (open/short to body ground/short to power) RL
12 - wheel senor (electrical noise/intermittent interuption) FR
14 - wheel senor (electrical noise/intermittent interuption) FL
16 - wheel senor (electrical noise/intermittent interuption) RR
18 - wheel senor (electrical noise/intermittent interuption) RL
21 - pulser FR
22 - pulser FL
23 - pulser RR
24 - pulser RL
31 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) FR-IN
32 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) FR-OUT
33 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) FL-IN
34 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) FL-OUT
35 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) RR-IN
36 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) RR-OUT
37 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) RL-IN
38 - solenoid (short to body ground/short to wire) RL-OUT
41 - wheel lock FR
42 - wheel lock FL
43 - wheel lock RR
44 - wheel lock RL
51 - motor lock
52 - motor stuck OFF
53 - motor stuck ON
54 - fail-safe relay
61 - ignition voltage
62 - ignition voltage
71 - different diameter tire
81 - central processing unti (CPU)

 

great thread. it should be in the FAQ

 

thanks guys im going to check for breaks ... if there is a break all that mean i got to buy some wire and fix the break?

 

i just checked my abs code...and im confused now. when i jumped it..the abs light flashed 3 times. 3 long flashes. then just stopeed flashing. i dont know how to figure out what code that is...? anyone help?? also whenever i turn my car on the abs makes an annoying buzzing sound. if that might help. thanks in advanced

reset your ECU and try it again

 

Look back up at the top, I've just edited the sequence of flashes. The ONE long flash is just the beginning of the whole sequence.

Reset the ABS codes by pulling the 15amp ABS B2 fuse in the ABS fusebox under the hood.

 

thanks for posting these abs codes...i'm gonna try pulling the code today to see exactly what it is....

 

my ABS light is coming on and staying on while driving causing my ABS not to work. Is this the sign that there's something broken and I need to jump the ECU and pull the code?
