Need ABS Module wiring pin out

I have an error coming up on the ABS and the scan says that it's an open circuit on the left hand front wheel speed sensor. I have replaced the sensor with two replacement sensors and still the same error code.

Do you have the wiring pin outs so I can test the cable resistance to the sensor?

SOURCE: Rear speed sensor removal front wheel drive

Don't remove the speed sensor from the hub wiht everything mounted on the car - you're almost guaranteed to destroy them (happened to me on my A4). Rolling friction while you're driving heats the hubs and basically seizes the sensors into the hubs. Better way to do it is to remove the rear seat bottom cushion (it just pops off if you pull up firmly from the front, bottom edge of it), and unplug the speed sensors from the main harness. There's a large wire bundle running across the car under the seat, and the speed sensors are plugged into it.

After you remove the cushion, you'll see right near the door jambs on each side (under the seat) a 2" or so diameter black foam or rubber grommet with a wire running through it. That's the speed sensor wire. Trace it back to the bundle and you'll see where it's plugged in. Unplug it, pop the grommet, then get under the car and follow the wire from the sensor in the hub forward. You'll see it runs under a bracket on the lower A-arm, which you can remove with a 9mm socket (2 nuts) and goes up through the floor of the car just inside the jack rail on the bottom, again through a black rubber grommet. Pop that grommet down and out as well, and you'll be able to feed the wire and plug down from the under-seat area and out the bottom of the car. Then you'll be able to move the suspension however you need to, without fear of damaging anything to do with the sensors.

SOURCE: How to replace ABS Sensor

They're a pain because they press into the hub. Some of them have a retaining bolt, others don't. The problem is that heat in the hub, from rolling friction in the wheel bearing and brake system heat transfer causes them to seize in place. The only way I've been able to remove them is to remove the end axle bolt that holds the axle in place, pivot the upright to gain access to the inside of the upright from behind, and tap the sensor out. You have to be careful not to damage it, and it helps a lot to spray some PB Blaster or penetrating oil in there to help loosen things up. If you try to pry or lever it out from the wire end of the sensor, you WILL destroy it.

ABS and T/C lights on dash. Resistance measurement good on left and right wheel speed sensors. Haven't been able to find an ABS and T/C wiring diagram to see what is common to both. circuits.

ABS and traction control both use the wheel speed sensors and are controlled through the same module . What resistance readings did you get ? Did you test AC voltage with the wheel spinning ?

How to diagnose an ABS problem

You need to find out what code is stored in the ABS control module, if the light is on there is a DTC an the system is disabled ! Don't know if auto part stores can pull ABS codes or not , You'll have to check it out . Personally I say take it to a ASE certified repair shop if you don't know anything about anti lock brakes !
?€¢
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) -- The EBCM controls the system functions and detects failures.


The EBCM contains the following components:


?€¢
System Relays -- The inlet and outlet solenoid relay is energized when the ignition is ON and no ABS DTCs are present. It supplies battery positive voltage to the solenoid valves, the pump motor relay is energized and supplies battery positive voltage to the pump motor when ABS is activated.


?€¢
Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) -- The BPMV contains the hydraulic valves and pump motor that are controlled electrically by the EBCM. The BPMV uses a 4 circuit configuration with a diagonal split. The BPMV directs fluid from the reservoir of the master cylinder to the left front and right rear wheels and fluid from the other reservoir to the right front and left rear wheels. The diagonal circuits are hydraulically isolated so that a leak or malfunction in one circuit will allow continued braking ability on the other.


This system can store 10-12 DTC's for something simple as wheel speed sensors to wiring problems to a malfunction of the EBCM . Some of these problems you would need a professional type scan tool ! The antilock brake system on your vehicle is the
BOSCH 8.0 antilock braking system
The vehicle is equipped with the following braking systems:
?€¢
Antilock Brake System (ABS)


?€¢
Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP)


?€¢
Traction Control System (TCS) (w/NW7)

The following components are involved in the operation of the above systems:
?€¢
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) -- The EBCM controls the system functions and detects failures.


The EBCM contains the following components:


?€¢
System Relays -- The inlet and outlet solenoid relay is energized when the ignition is ON and no ABS DTCs are present. It supplies battery positive voltage to the solenoid valves, the pump motor relay is energized and supplies battery positive voltage to the pump motor when ABS is activated.


?€¢
Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) -- The BPMV contains the hydraulic valves and pump motor that are controlled electrically by the EBCM. The BPMV uses a 4 circuit configuration with a diagonal split. The BPMV directs fluid from the reservoir of the master cylinder to the left front and right rear wheels and fluid from the other reservoir to the right front and left rear wheels. The diagonal circuits are hydraulically isolated so that a leak or malfunction in one circuit will allow continued braking ability on the other.


Important: There is a rubber isolator located under the BPMV and on the mounting studs. The rubber isolators protect the BPMV and the EBCM from vehicle vibrations.


?€¢
The BPMV contains the following components:


-
Pump Motor


-
Inlet Valves (one per wheel)


-
Outlet Valves (one per wheel)


?€¢
Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS) -- As the wheel spins, the wheel speed sensor produces an AC signal. The EBCM uses this alternating current signal to calculate wheel speed. The wheel speed sensors are replaceable only as part of the wheel hub and bearing assemblies.


?€¢
Traction Control Switch (w/NW7) -- The TCS is manually disabled or enabled using the traction control switch.


?€¢
Stop Lamp Switch - The EBCM uses the stop lamp switch as an indication that the brake pedal is applied

Abs on vr commodore light stays on solutions

Error logs are a great thing. They will help you find intermittent problems and start you off in a general direction of where a problem could be. There is a great level of detail on the justcommodores site on checking error codes logged by the engine management system, but this does not detail anything about the abs system. The abs warning light is not as common as the check engine warning light. Reading through the posts, I haven't found any detail on checking error codes logged by the abs system.

So here it is. For those of you familiar with checking the engine error codes, this procedure is so simple its not funny.

Basically, to check the engine error log, you bridge the 5th (ground) and 6th pins in the ODB connector under the steering wheel.

To check the ABS error log, using the same trusty calibrated paper clip, you simply bridge pins 5 and 12 of the connector.

To find pins 5 and 12, start at the top left hand corner. That is pin one. Going to the right, you count pin 2,3,4 etc. Once you get to the end, jump back to the start of the bottom left level of pins and keep counting. Pin 5 is about halfway along the top row, pin 12 is a little left of the middle in the bottom row.

Reading the error codes is the same procedure (counting the flashes), except now, the ABS light flashes (as opposed to the engine light when checking the engine codes).

The ABS log also uses code 12 firstly, with any errors logged shown after that. If no errors are logged, the 12 will flash again.

Error codes for the ABS error log (VR/VS) are as follows:

12 Diagnostic system operational
21 Right hand front wheel speed sensor fault
23 Right hand front wheel speed sensor continuity fault
25 Left hand front wheel speed sensor fault
27 Left hand front wheel speed sensor continuity fault
28 Wheel speed sensor frequency error
31 Right hand rear wheel speed sensor fault
33 Right hand rear wheel speed sensor continuity fault
35 Left hand rear wheel speed sensor fault
37 Left hand rear wheel speed sensor continuity fault
41 Right hand front inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
42 Right hand front outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
45 Left hand front inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
46 Left hand front outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
55 Rear inlet solenoid valve circuit fault
56 Rear outlet solenoid valve circuit fault
61 Pump motor relay circuit fault
63 Valve relay circuit fault
71 ABS control module internal fault

The above guide has been verified on a VR/VS. Checking the error log on all models prior to VR/VS is the same for the engine log, and I would assume that the same can be said for the ABS log, would be happy if someone could verify this for me.

Abs light on 2005 Pacifica

Wiring harness issues. the code doesn't men the sensor is the problem, it means a problem exists in the circuit of that sensor, that can be of course the sensor or the wiring or the computer. You need to the dealer to sort this out, a live data scanner is needed to look at the wheel speed sensors signal to see what is going on, that scanner costs big dollars. Many people yell and scream and call names when I suggest the dealer service dept, but that is what it takes so please don't shot the messenger. I speak form 35 years of experience.

ABS brake module sounds like a motor running and won't stop unless battery is disconnected. what is fix?

I would pull the fuse for the ABS hydraulic pump and then put it back in and see what happens. Don't ever recall a pump running. Dealer may need to hook up scan tool for diagnostic fault codes, DTCs.



Principles of Operation
The ABS control module receives wheel speed readings from both front wheel speed sensors and the rear differential speed sensor, and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The wheel speed sensor electrically senses each tooth of the ABS sensor indicators as it passes through the wheel speed sensor's magnetic field.
The ABS control module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of each wheel speed sensor indicator and, when it detects an impending wheel lock, modulates brake pressure to the appropriate brake caliper(s). This is accomplished by triggering the hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate solenoid valves. Once the affected wheel returns to normal speed, the ABS control module returns the solenoid valves to their normal position, and normal (base) braking resumes.
The ABS control module is self-monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the ABS control module will do a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the pump motor is turned on for approximately one-half second. Any malfunction of the ABS system will cause the ABS to shut off; normal power assisted braking, however, remains.
Inspection and Verification — Scan Tool Communications Check
  1. Verify the customer concern by carrying out the Drive Cycle Test.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
