1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Essentially, ther e can be two systems fitted to a M Y 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicle; the Antilock Braking System
only, (ABS) and an Antilock Braking System (ABS) combined with an Electronic Traction Control system (TCS).
The combined two systems are known as ABS/TCS
W hile the ABS a lone, h as c omm on elem ents, r egardle ss of the engin e fitted , the AB S/TC S has m ark ed diff erences
between the V6 and GEN III V8 engine applications. While the general information and servicing segments are
combined, the diagnostic sections have been separated between the V6 and GEN III V8 engines, where the
diagnostic procedure is different.
1.1 ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The pur pose of the Ant ilock Brak ing System (ABS) is to pre vent wheel lock-up during heavy brak ing conditi ons on
most road surfaces. A vehicle that is stopped without locking the wheels will normally stop in a shorter distance
than a vehicle with lock ed wheel/s, while m aintaining directional stabilit y and some steering capabilit y. This allows
the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle during heavy braking.
Therefore, the object of an Antilock Braking System (ABS) is to provide drivers with:
1. Enhanced braking performance by reducing vehicle speed in the shortest distance possible on most road
surfaces.
2. Enhanced steering control by enabling the vehicle to move in a driver-controlled direction during braking
manoeuvres.
WHEEL SL IP
Maxim um br ak ing is ac hiev ed when whee l loc k-up is preven ted. M aximum br ak ing forc e is gen er ate d when the t yre
slip is approx imatel y 12%.
T yre slip ca n be anywhere between 0% and 1 00%. W ith reference to Fig. 5 B-1, with zero % s lip, the wheel r otates
freely as in case ‘A’. However, should the wheel lock, as in case ‘B’ but is still pushed along the road surface, by
the energy and inertia (‘C’) of the moving vehicle.
Figure 5B-1
At zero slip (0%) , a tyre rolls fr eely. At 100% slip, a
tyre locks up as the weight of the vehicle pushes
the non-rotating tyre along. At 100% slip, the
brakes stop the tyre but not the vehicle.
Legend:
A Decreasing Stopping Distance
B % of Tyre Slip
1 No Braking
2 Best Braking (approximately 12% Slip)
3 Least Effective Braking
4 Lack of vehicle Control (Slide) from This Point
Figure 5B-2
The braking system needs tyre traction to function: In operation, the brakes convert the vehicle's forward motion
into heat e nergy. The br akes cannot generate stop ping for ce unless the t yres have tractio n. Tyre tracti on provides
a counter force for the brakes to work against.
The forces involved in stopping a vehicle are extremely high. For example, stopping an 1800 kg vehicle from 100
km/h requires the brakes to generate approximately 8,100 kilojoule (kJ) of braking energy.
At 100% slip, the vehicle's forward energy is turned into braking energy between the tyre and the road surface.
However, the d isadvantag e here is that the tyres again st the road surf ace are a very poor high tem perature f riction
material when compared to that of the brake pads. Brake pad material can generate stopping force much more
efficiently than the road surface and a non-rotating tyre. The lack of traction at 100% slip explains why locked
wheels produce long vehicle stopping distances.
Professional dr ivers caref ully control lock up by limiting brake pressure, but even they cannot always prevent lock-
up on wet roa ds or in other reduced tr action con ditio ns. In theor y, drivers m ust lim it brake applic ations just shor t of
lock-up. In practice, drivers rapidly pump the brakes to reduce lock-up. They apply, release, reapply and release
the brakes until the vehicle stops.
However, the m o st skilled d r ivers c ann ot p ump the br a kes rapidl y or prec is ely enough f o r the b es t br aking under al l
conditions. Of course, pumping of the brake pedal applies and releases the brakes at all four wheels at the same
time. Ideally, automatic individual control over the braking at each wheel would enhance braking on most road
surfaces. This is precisely what ABS attempts to achieve.
STEERING CONTROL
Steering control, like braking, also depends upon
tyre traction. A locked wheel/tyre in a 100% slip
condition (refer 5B-3) delivers poor braking and
directional control. Therefore, some tyre rotation is
also necessary for steering control.
In this example, the front tyre direction (A) has
minimal steering effect, with the vehicle sliding in
direction ‘B’. The tyres must regain their traction
before steering control is restored to the vehicle.
Figure 5B-3 – Minimal Steering Effect at 100% Slip
CORNERING FORCE
From view ‘A’, Centrifugal force (1) inevitability acts on a vehicle that is turning a corner. A balancing force (2)
(referred to as ‘cornering force’) is needed to overcome the centrifugal force so that the vehicle will stay on the
road. The cornering force (2) is produced when tyre distortion occurs during turns (while the wheels are rotating).
This distortion of the t yre tread chang es the direction t he tyre is pointing (4), relative to the direction the vehicle is
travellin g (3). T he an gle b etween the t wo (‘θ’) is ref erred to as a “s lip a ngle” a lthou gh no ac tual ‘sl ip’ occ urs, u nless
the t yre to road footprint is lost. If wheel/t yre lock -up does occur, the c ornering f orce will becom e zero). The graph
in view ‘B’ sh ows the rela tions hip betwee n th e percen tage of slip ( Z) and the cor nerin g for ce (X ), relati ve to the sl ip
angle (Y).
Figure 5B-4
FACTORS AFFECTING BRAKING
During vehicle braking, several conditions and forces are at work. These include those factors shown in the
follo wing il lus tr at io n:
1. Road surface (dirt, gravel, bitumen).
2. Sudden changes in the road surface (oil, puddles, ice spots).
3. Tyres.
4. Road conditions (smooth, rough, wet, dry).
5. Wheel loading when stopping.
6. Vehicle weight.
7. Steering manoeuvres.
The adv ent of solid s tate elec tronics enab les t hese fac tor s to be m onitored and al lo wed for during brak ing. W ithout
special electronics devices, the braking system could not account for these variables.
Figure 5B-5
1.2 TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
Critical driving situations are not restricted to braking; they can also occur during standing start and moving
acceleration (especially on slippery gradients) and during cornering. These conditions can present drivers with
more than they can handle. The result: dangerous driving errors.
Electro nic Trac tion Contr ol (T CS) is des igned to solve these prob lems . The prim ary purpos e of T CS, an exp anded
version of ABS, is to reduce the demands placed on the vehicle by the driver by maintaining vehicle stability and
steering response under acceleration (provided that the physical limits are not exceeded). When fitted to V6
engined vehicles, TCS does this through the use of ABS (brake intervention) and adapting the engine torque (spark
timing retard) to levels corresponding to the traction available at the road surface, before the situation becomes
critical. When the GEN III V 8 eng ine is f itted to t he veh i cle, while both br ake and e ngine i ntervention are s till used a
throttle relaxer is also fitted, to control the throttle valve position in the throttle body. The throttle relaxer is controlled
by its own Throttle Relaxer Control Module, that in turn, receives information from the ABS/TCS Control Module.
The throttle relax er is pos it i oned part way along t he acce lerator cable in the engine c ompar tm ent. T he r eque s t f r om
the accelera tor pedal (ped al depress ed), is trans mitted via the c able to the thr ottle relax er. Under norm al operating
conditio ns , th e r eq ues t t he c ontin ues o n to th e t hrottle valve. H o we ver, in a s i tuat i on wher e a rear wheel is a bout to
lose tr action s a y, under to o intense an ac celer ation r equest f or th e ro ad condi tion s, the throttle rel axer will int err upt
the accelerator pedal request and control the throttle valve position in the throttle body, directly. In this way a
potential loss of traction condition is averted.
By combining TCS and ABS, it is possible to obtain higher levels of safety through dual purpose application of
system components.
BASE SYSTEM
The TCS system must be capable of inhibiting wheelspin during initial or moving acceleration under the following
conditions:
When the lane surface is slippery on one or both sides.
As the vehicle emerges from an ice covered road surface.
During acceleration when cornering.
When starting off on a gradient.
The TCS system must also intervene in the following situations:
When a wheel spins (the same as when it locks), the lateral forces which it can transmit are limited; the
vehicle becomes unstable and the rear ‘fishtails’. TCS maintains vehicle stability for enhanced safety.
Spin also leads to increased tyre tread wear and drivetrain stress, ie. rear axle. TCS avoids the drivetrain
loads that occur when a spinning wheel suddenly finds traction on a high adhesive surface.
TCS must be ready to intervene automatically at all times. TCS employs the difference in slip rates at the
drive wheels to d is tin gu is h bet ween c or ner ing a nd ac celeration s lip pa ge. The t yres do not dr ag in tight r ad ius
corners, as can occur with a differential lock. Limited slip differentials can not always inhibit wheel spin
resulting from excess throttle applications. In contrast, TCS also regulates the engine output to ensure that
the wheels retain traction.
T he system r esponds to condit ions in th e physical t hreshold r ange b y triggering a LOW TR AC warning lam p
in the instrument cluster to alert the driver.
1.3 SERVICE INFORMATION
Apart from the information contained within this Section, additional servicing details on the ABS and ABS/TCS,
reference can also be made to:
a. Section 3 FRONT SUSPENSION in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information, for information
relating to front wheel bearing hub removal and/or reinstallation operations.
b. Section 4B FINAL DRIVE AND DRIVE SHAFTS in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information, for
details of rear axle sensor removal and adjustment details.
c. General brake bleeding operations for the ABS and ABS/TCS are the same as for the standard braking system.
This operation is described in Section 5A SERVICE AND PARK BR AKING SY STEM S in the MY 2003 VY and
V2 Series Service Information.
IMPORTANT: When bleeding operations are carried out, that involve the ABS Hydraulic Control Module,
then specific procedures must be followed that require the use of Tech 2. Refer to Section 0C TECH 2, in
the MY2003 VY Series Service Information for details.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
There can be two types of ABS fitted to MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles; one without traction control, ABS
(production option JL9) and one with traction control ABS/TCS (production options JL9 and NW9). Depending on
individual vehicle specifications, either one of these options may be utilised or, neither of them. W here differences
in service procedures or routing (e.g. brake piping), between left and right hand drive vehicles are evident, then
illustrations will be used to reflect those changes.
NOTE: As the two systems are not compatible it is not possible to build a V6 engined vehicle with
Electronic Traction Control (TCS) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG.). If a vehicle with TCS is to be fitted
with an aftermarket LPG system, the TCS system must be permanently disabled.
The only recommended way of disabling the TCS system on a V6 engined vehicle, is to disconnect terminal
27 from the ABS/TCS control module connector A37 X1, circuit 27, Black/White wire (actual torque – MMI).
This is to be achieved by withdrawing terminal 27 from connector A37 X1 and taping the wire back to the
main wiring harness. This will disable the TCS system while maintaining normal ABS operation.
If the TCS system is disabled, the TC OFF warning display in the instrument cluster will be permanently
activated when the ignition is on and Diagnostic Trouble Code 74 will be logged. At no time must the ‘T/C
OFF’ warning lamp be disconnected as it’s function is to advise the driver that this safety feature is not
available.
On all MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles, the conventional portion (non-ABS) of the braking system comprises
the conve ntional heav y dut y brak ing system , specific br ake pipe harnes s and lines and a comm on m aster cylinder
with the conve ntional no n- AB S braking system . W ith ABS or ABS/TCS ho we ver, the master c ylinder has a scr ew-i n
blanking plug installed into the lower of the two front brake outlets. Each front wheel hub also includes the wheel
speed sensor as p art of the assembly. The rear wheel speed sensors are toot hed pulse rings attached to each of
the inner axle flanges.
At road sp eeds a bove approximatel y 6 km /h, the A BS i s designed to co ntr ol brake f luid pres s ure s o th at th e whee ls
are pre vented from loc king-up d ur in g braking, ir res pec t ive of the r oa d c on dit ions a nd tyre gr ip. The s ystem s tarts to
regulate when one wheel is detected to be decelerating faster than the other wheels, tending to lock. The vehicle
remains steerable, even in the event of panic braking, for instance on bends or when swerving to avoid an
obstacle.
The ABS without traction control fitted to MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles, modulates braking pressure
separate ly at each fr ont wheel, wit h the rear whee ls sharing a s ingle AB S modulated hydraulic c ircuit. T his ABS is
referred to as a three-channel s ystem , as three separate hydraulic brake circuits are used to the achieve anti-lock
braking function.
The ABS/TCS (ABS with electronic traction control) fitted to MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles, modulates
brak ing press ure se paratel y at e ach f ront and rear wh eel. T he AB S/TCS is ref erred t o as a four c hann el s ystem as
each of the four wheels have a separate hydraulic brake circuits which are used to achieve anti-lock braking and
traction control functions. The term modulated refers to the ABS ability to 'Maintain', 'Reduce' or 'Increase' (Build-
up) the hydraulic pressure in the various brake circuits based on various inputs.
The Tech 2 diagnostic scan tool is programmed to assist with MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicle electrical
diagnosis and problem solving, including ABS and ABS/TCS Tech 2 connects to the ABS or ABS/TCS serial data
communication inform ation via the Dat a Link Connector (DLC), attached to the instrument panel lower trim, to the
right of the steering column. For additional information on DLC location and system diagnosis, refer to

2 1 ABS AND ABS/TCS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
BASIC OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The rotational speed of each wheel is m easured by inductive wheel speed sens ors. W hen the brakes are applied,
the change in rotational speed is used by the processor in the ABS or ABS/TCS control module to determine the
deceleration, acceleration and slip of the wheels.
On vehic les with ABS ( excluding AB S/TCS), the fr ont wheels are i ndividuall y c ontroll ed with the rear wheels bei ng
controlled jointly (three channel system). If one side of the road surface is slippery, the rear wheel braking on this
surf ace determ ines the brak ing press ure of both rear whee ls. On ve hicl es with A BS/T CS, the f ront and r ear whee ls
are individually controlled (four channel system).

The braking force for each of the front wheels is regulated using individual inlet and outlet solenoid valves within
the hydraulic modulator, and the rear wheels are controlled by a common set of inlet and outlet solenoid valves
within the hydraulic modulator. Four sensors measure the individual speed of each wheel.

ABS CONTROL
Lock-up (Refer Q in Figu re 5B-13)
During full braking, the driver usually applies braking pressure (FP) to such an extent that the wheel speed (WS)
rapidly decreases causing wheel lock-up (L). This results in a loss of steering control, and the maximum possible
braking effect is not attained. During ABS-controlled full braking, the braking pressure is automatically adjusted to
prevent wheel lock-up, regardless of brake pedal force.
The processes involved are:
m aintain ing pr es su re
reducing pressure
increasing (building-up) pressure.
Maintain ing Pr es s ure (Ref e r R in Figure 5B-13)
If a wheel speed sensor signals severe wheel deceleration to the ABS control module, ie. the wheels are likely to
lock-up, the braking pressure at the wheel involved is initially maintained (kept constant) as opposed to being
further increased (point M).
Reducing Pres s ure (Ref er S in Figure 5B-13)
If the wheel still continues to decelerate rapidly, the pressure in the brake caliper circuit is reduced so that the
wheel is braked less heavily (point R).
Increasing (Building-up) Pressure (Refer T in Figure 5B-13)
The wheel accelerates again (WS) as a result of the reduced braking pressure. Upon reaching a spec ific limit, the
ABS or A BS/TCS c ontro l modu le reg isters the fac t that the wheel is no w not bei ng br ak ed suff iciently. The f orm erl y
reduced pressure is then incr eased, prov ided peda l press ure is m aintained, s o that th e wheel is agai n decel erated
(point B) . The c ontro l cyc le beg ins agai n. T here are approx im ately four t o six con trol c ycles per s econ d, dep ending
on the state of the road surface. This rate is made possible by rapid electronic signal processing and the short
response times of the solenoid valves.
Self-Monitoring
At the start of a journey, the system automatically carries out an operational check in accordance with a stored
program in the ABS or ABS/TCS control module. The signals generated during a braking process are simulated
and the signals transmitted to the hydraulic modulator are checked for their correctness.
During the journey the system monitors itself by comparing the logical sequence of input and output signals with
memorised limit values, in addition to monitoring the voltage supply.
If a system defect is detected, the ABS switches itself off and the driver can still use the conventional, non ABS
controlled braking system. This changeover is indicated by the illumination of an ABS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster.
Performance
When full braking power is applied, the vehicle is optimally braked while retaining its full directional stability and
control. T he AB S pr events wheel l ock -up abov e a m inim um speed of approx im ately 6 k m /h, whether on ice o r on a
dry road surface.

2.2 NORMAL CONDITIONS DURING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING AND
TRACTION CONTROL INTERVENTION
During anti-lock braking, a series of rapid pulsations are felt through the brake pedal. These pulsations occur as
solenoid valves within the underhood hydraulic modulator assembly change position to modulate brake hydraulic
pressure. Brake pedal pulsation continues until the vehicle is stopped or the ABS mode disengages.
The operation of the pump, also within the hydraulic modulator assembly, is characterised by rapid brake pedal
pulsation that is accompanied by some electric motor and pump noise. Pump operation may be perceived during
regular vehicle operation or during initial ABS or ABS/TCS control module self-test. While these functions sometime
cause driver concern, they are normal functions of ABS operation.
During trac tion control on V6 engined vehic les fitted with nor mal operatio n is less notic eable. Pum p operation ma y
still be heard, together with a power sag from the engine as the ABS/TCS control module requests the PCM to
bring engine torque into a specific range.
Traction control intervention on GEN III V8 engine vehicle fitted with ABS/TCS, operates in three stages; engine
spark retard, throttle angle reduction, and rear brake application.
The first is less noticeable; with only a power sag from the engine being felt as the ABS/TCS control module
requests the PCM to retard the engine spark as appropriate.
If the ABS/TCS contro l module continues to detect the rear wheels are rotating faster than the front, it will request
the throttle relaxer control module to reduce the throttle angle.
The final step taken to control the rear wheel is for the ABS/TCS control module to apply the rear brakes, thus
reducing the torque to the rear wheels.
W hen the vehic le re ac hes approx imately 6 km /h and pr ovided the AB S or A BS/T C S contr o l module do es no t s ense
a stop lam p switch input, after initial engine start-up and driving away, the ABS or ABS/TCS control module tests
the solenoid valves and pump. This self test can be heard by the driver and is a normal operating function of the
ABS. If the ABS or ABS/T CS control module does sense a stop lamp switch input, the self test will not occur until
the vehicle is travelling at approximately 18 km/h.
Normal function of the ABS, TC OFF and LOW TC warning lamps in the instrument cluster are as follows:
ABS lamp: should illuminate when the ignition is switched on and will go out approximately two seconds later.
Should the lamp not go out, the ABS or ABS/TCS control module has detected a system fault.
TC OFF lamp: should illuminate when the ignition is switched on and will go out approximately five seconds later
(or two seconds latter with engine running). If the lamp does not go out, either the ABS/TCS control module has
detected a system fault, or the system has been manually switched off.
LOW TC lam p: should illu minate when the ignition is switched on a nd will go ou t approxim ately two secon ds later.
This lamp will illuminate whenever the TCS system is engaged.

2.3 ABS AND ABS/TCS SYSTEM COMPONENTS
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND PULSE RINGS
Front Wheel Speed Sensors
Inductive wheel speed sensors (1) are used to
detect the rotational speed of each wheel. There
are specific wheel sensor assemblies for front and
rear wheels.
Signals generated by the wheel speed sensor are
transmitted to the ABS control module via a wheel
speed sensor lead, that has a ‘push-ontype
connector with a locking tang, at the wheel speed
sensor end.
The front wheel speed sensors (1) are incorporated
as part of the front suspension front wheel hub
assembly.
Figure 5B-14
There are three specific front wheel hub
assemblies available. For vehicles with ABS or
ABS/TCS, there is a right and left, which
incorporates the wheel speed sensor and a 48
tooth magnet impulse ring. For non ABS vehicles,
a common hub is used for both sides.
Identification of the front wheel hub assemblies is
by the assembly part number etched on the outer
surface (1) of the hub wheel flange or by simply
noting whether a wheel speed sensor cap is fitted
to the hub (2).
CAUTION: During any service operation that
requires the replacement of the front hub
assembly on a vehicle equipped with ABS/TCS,
ensure that the correct replacement hub
assembly is installed, otherwise malfunctioning
of the ABS or ABS/TCS will occur.
NOTE 1: Always refer to the latest spare parts
information (PartFinder®) for the correct front
wheel hub assembly part numbers.
NOTE 2: Apart fr om wheel stud replac ement, ther e
are no serviceable items in the front wheel hub
assembly. With the unit being a ‘sealed for life’
assembly, there are no requirements for wheel
speed sensor and/or bearing adjustments. Should
a non-standard condition develop, then the hub
assembly must be replaced as complete unit.

Figure 5B-15
Figure 5B-16 illustrates a sectioned view of the
front wheel sensor in the front hub assembly.
The components of the sensor are:
magnetic impulse ring (1)
coil (3)
flux concentrator (4)
coaxial connector (6)
The m agnetic impulse r i ng (1 ), attac he d to the f r ont
hub rotating member (2), is magnetised and
contains 48 individual magnets evenly spaced
around the ring.
On the flux concentrator (4) there are a
corresponding 48 evenly spaced teeth (5).
Magnetic flux (7), generated from the impulse
ring (1), is induced into the coil (3) via the flux
concentrator (4).
As the road wheel is rotated, the front hub inner
member and magnetic impulse ring rotate as one,
causing a variation of the magnetic flux generated
in the flux concentrator. This change in the
magnetic flux causes an alternating voltage to be
induced in the coil of the sensor.
Figure 5B-16
The frequency and amplitude of the induced
voltage are dependent on wheel RPM, the number
of turns of the coil, the magnetisation level of the
impulse ring and the number teeth of the flux
concentrator. Of all these factors, the only variable
is the wheel RPM, so the frequency and am plitude
of the output signal depend on the speed of wheel
rotation.
The dotted line (1) in Figure 5B-17 represents the
voltage generated by the wheel speed sensor
versus time (T) at low wheel speed.
The continuous line (2) in Figure 5B-17 represents
the voltage generated by the wheel speed sensor
versus time (T) at high wheel speed.

Rear Wheel Spe ed Se ns ors
The rear wheel speed sens or (1) basic ally consists
of a magnetic core and a coil. The pole tip (2) is
surrounded by a magnetic field. As the wheel turns,
the teeth of the p ulse r i ng ( 3) c ause c hang es in th is
magnetic field. The magnetic flux thereby changes
and an alternating voltage is induced in the coil of
the wheel speed sensor.
The pole piece on the outer surface of the sensor
is of a pl as tic cons tr uct ion and ther ef or e there is no
requirement to coat the outer surface with high
temperature grease when reinstalling sensor
assemblies (as on previous models).
The rear wheel speed se nsors have a hi gh voltage
output and therefore, there is no need to install
shim s between the s ensor and its m ating mounti ng
bracket.

Figure 5B-18
The rear wheel speed sensors (1) are located in a
bracket which is part of the final drive rear cover.
Each pulse ring (2) is a toothed ring made of a
ferrous metal that rotates to allow the wheel speed
sensor to read the rotational speed of each rear
wheel.
The rear wheel pulse rings are part of the final
drive inner axle flanges and are not serviced
separately.
As the road wheels rotate, the wheel speed
sensors generate an AC electrical signal
proportional (in frequency and amplitude) to the
wheel speed . The ABS or AB S/TCS c ontrol module
uses wheel speed signals to determine when anti-
lock control or traction control is required.
Specifically, the module uses wheel speed sensor
signals to find out whether any of the wheels are
decelerating rapidly (locking) or accelerating
rapidly (slipping).
The ABS and ABS/TCS systems are calibrated to
use tyres of a known rolling radius and pulse rings
with a specific number of teeth. The number of
teeth on the pulse rings correspond directly to tyre
size. If one of the tyres f itted to t he veh icle is l arger
or smaller (not to original equipment size) than the
remainder of the tyres on the vehicle, the ABS or
ABS/TCS control module will not modulate brake
system hydraulic pressure properly.
T212L008

Figure 5B-19
Improper system operation occurs because the wheel speed signal from the off-size tyre makes the module think
that one wheel is accelerating or decelerating faster than the others.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE VEHICLE ONLY BE EQUIPPED WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
TYRE SIZE AS NOMINATED ON THE VEHICLES TYRE PL ACARD. CHANGING TYRE SIZE COULD AFFECT
SYSTEM FUNCTION.
ABS AND ABS/TCS CONTROL MODULE (Refer Figure 5B-20)
The ABS or ABS/TCS control module (1) evaluates the signals from the wheel speed sensors and computes the
permissible wheel slip for optimum braking and traction.
During ABS, it regulates the necessary braking pressure in the brake calipers by means of solenoid valves within
the hydr aulic m odulator as semb ly (2). The ABS or A BS/TCS c ontrol m odule test s the s ystem in accordance with a
defined program and monitors it during driving.
The ABS/T CS contr ol m odule a lso m onitor s both fr ont and r ear wh eel sp eeds thr ough the whee l speed s ensors for
wheel slip. If at any time during acceleration the ABS/TCS control module detects drive wheel slip, it will act to bring
excess engine torque into a specific range. How this is achieved, depends on the engine fitted to the vehicle.
V6 Engined Veh ic les
Engine Control: This is ac complishe d via t wo high sp eed Puls e W idth Modulate d (PW M) circuits between t he
ABS/TCS control module and the PCM. The PCM will then adjust spark firing and air/fuel ratio, altering the
boost duty cycle (Supercharged engine only), and shutting OFF up to five (5) injectors (if necessary), and
report the modified torque value (on the Torque Achieved circuit) back to the ABS/TCS control module.
Brak e Application : Simultaneously with engine torque management, the ABS/TCS control module will activate
the ABS isolator valves, turn on the ABS pump motor and supply brake pressure to the over-spinning wheel/s.
GEN III V8 Engine Veh icles
Spark adv ance: Re qu esting the PCM to r etard the amount of spark adva nce, v ia the spar k r etard circ uit, circ uit
1687 (Grey/Black wire).
Throttle angle reduction: Sending a message to the throttle relaxer control module, via the requested throttle
position line (DKR), circuit 463 (Orange/White wire), to reduce the throttle angle. The throttle relaxer control
module achieves this by driving the throttle relaxer motor, which in turn pulls back the throttle cable, reducing
the throttle body opening.
The throttle relaxer control module sends a signal back to the ABS/TCS control module via the actual throttle
position line (DKI), circuit 464 (Black/White), reporting on the actual throttle position.
Brake application: The ABS/TCS control module will activate the ABS isolator valves, turn on the ABS pump
motor and supply brake pressure to the over-spinning wheel/s.
The ABS/TCS control module (1) is integrated with the hydraulic modulator (2) and there are different control
modules used in MY 2003 VY and V2 Series vehicles for ABS and ABS/TCS systems. It is physically impossible to
fit an ABS control module to an ABS/TCS hydraulic modulator or an ABS/TCS control module to a ABS hydraulic
modulator. However, if replacing an ABS or ABS/TCS control module, always refer to the latest PartFinder® Parts
Information for the correct control module part numbers.
NOTE: View ‘A’ is for RHD vehicles, while view ‘B’ is for LHD vehicles.
Figure 5B-20
HYDRAULIC MODULATOR (Refer Figure 5B-20)
The hydraulic modulator (2) for the ABS consists of six solenoid valves (three inlet and three outlet), two
accumulators, one for the front brake circuits and the other for the rear brake circuit and a brake fluid return pump.
The h ydraulic m odulator ( 2) for the ABS/T CS system consists of ten so lenoid valves ( four inle t, four o utlet and t wo
TCS s olenoi d valves ), t wo accum ulators , one for the f ront brak e circ uits a nd the other for th e rear brak e c ircuit a nd
a brake fluid return pump.
The solenoid valves are actuated by the ABS/TCS control module (1). Depending on the switching stage, they
connect the wheel brake calipers either with the brake master cylinder (3) or with the pump assembly, or
disconnect the wheel brake caliper from both the circuit and pump. When pressure is reduced, the return pump
conveys the brake fluid flowing out of the wheel brake cylinders back into the brake master cylinder via the
corresponding accumulator. The accumulators serve to temporarily accommodate the brake fluid 'surplus' which
suddenly occurs following a drop in pressure.
THROTTLE RELAXER
Only utilis e d when the GEN III V8 e ng ine is f itted to
a vehicle with ABS/TCS, the throttle relaxer is
mounted on the cockpit module, in the engine
compartm ent. The thrott le r elaxer co nsists of: three
pulleys (2), a dust cover (1) and a motor (3).
The accelerator pedal cable is connected to the
centre (B) of the three pulleys. The throttle cable
(throttle relaxer to throttle body cable) attaches to
the bottom (A) of the three pulleys. If the vehicle is
fitted with cruise control, the cruise control cable
attaches to the top pulley (C).
Via a raised lug on pulley B, through an elongated
slot in pulley C, pulleys B and C are connected to
each other. This allows for the operation of the
cruise control, and interruption free movement of
pulley B (accelerator pedal position) when the
cruise control is not in operation.

The internal s pri ng betwee n pulle y A and B is com pr essed and theref ore, the acc elerat or pedal is overr idden . A
slight sensation on the accelerator pedal can be felt during this stage.
If the cruise control is engaged and the TCS intervenes, the cruise control will automatically be disengaged.
THROTTLE RELAXER CONTROL MODULE
Only required when the GEN III V8 engine is fitted
to a vehicle with ABS/TCS, the throttle relaxer
control m odule (1) is loc ated behind the p assenger
side shroud lower trim assembly, next to the
Powertrain Interface Module (PIM).
NOTE: The locat ion of the Throttle Re laxer C ontrol
Module is the same in all vehicles fitted with the
GEN III V8 engine.
The throttle relaxer control module uses input
information received from both the throttle position
sensor and the ABS/TCS control module.
The ABS/TCS control module communicates with
the throttle relaxer control module via Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) signals sent and received on
two circuits; DKR circuit 463 (Orange/White wire)
and DKI circuit 464 Black/White wire). “DKR”
translates to the requested throttle position; “DKI”
translates to the actual throttle position.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTCs for the throttle
relaxer are incorporated into the ABS/TCS control
module.

ABS WARNING LAMP
Located in t he instrum ent cluster, the A BS warning
lamp is part of the driver warning system.
The ABS warning lamp is controlled by the ABS or
ABS/T CS c ontr o l module a nd is il luminate d to warn
the driver that a utomatic an ti- lock brak ing c apab il ity
is totally inhibited. This does not affect the
operation of the vehicle's conventional braking
system.
The ABS warning lamp will illuminate when:
1. The ignition is turned on. The lamp will go out
after a stationary 'Self Check' is completed
(two to five seconds).
2. The ABS or ABS/TCS control module detects
an ABS electrical wiring or component
problem.
3. T he ABS or AB S/TCS control module det ects a
problem within itself.
These conditions are part of the ABS self-
check.
Figure 5B-23
4. When using Tech 2 in certain diagnostic modes for ABS/TCS diagnosis, the ABS/TCS system is disabled by
the ABS/TCS control module while it is communicating with Tech 2.
Should the ABS warning lamp lose power (from fuse F13 ignition fuse) or the ABS control module lose earth
(terminals A37, X1 16 and X1 16), the ABS warning lamp will not illuminate at any time.
ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL (TCS) WARNING DISPLAYS
There ar e two electronic tr action contr ol warning d ispla ys in the instrum ent panel Multi Functio n Displa y (MFD) (1);
‘TRAC OFF’ (‘A’) and ‘LOW TRAC’ (‘B’).
The ‘T RAC OFF’ warn ing displa y (‘A’) is c ontrolled b y the ABS/T CS control module, v ia the seria l data bus c ircuit,
and will be activated to warn the driver that the TCS system has been disabled.
The ‘TRAC OFF’ warning display will be activated when:
1. The ignition is turned on. The display will de-activate after a stationary 'Self Check' is completed (two to five
seconds).
2. When the TCS system is manually switched off, via the traction control switch.
3. The ABS/TCS control module detects an TCS electrical wiring or component problem.
4. The ABS/TCS control module detects a problem within itself.
Figure 5B-24
5. W hen using Tech 2 in certain diagnostic modes for ABS/TCS diagnosis. The ABS/TCS system is disabled by
the ABS/TCS control module while it is communicating with the Tech 2.
Should th e ‘TRAC OFF’ or ‘LOW TR AC’ warning displa ys lose power (fr om fus e F13 igniti on fuse) neither of these
lamps will activate. Also, if the ABS/TCS control module loses earth (terminals A37, X1-16 and X1-19), the ‘LOW
TRAC’ warn ing disp lay will not activ ate.
The ‘LOW TRAC’ warning display is also controlled by the ABS/TCS control module and will be activated for two
seconds when the ignition is switched on and then go out, or when the ABS/TCS control module is controlling
wheel spin, indicating that the vehicle is in a critical situation.
ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL (T/C) SWITCH
Automatic Transmission
In certain circumstances (i.e. if the vehicle became bogged but could be ‘rocked out’) it may be necessary to
disable th e electronic traction c ontrol s ystem (TCS) . This is achie ved by pressi ng the ‘T/C’ butto n, located n ear the
transmission selector, as shown. If the traction control system is switched off, the ‘T/C’ displa y will be activated in
the Multi Function Display (MFD) in the Instrument (refer Figure 5B-25, view ‘A’). The system can be switched on
again by either pressing the ‘T/C’ button again or when the ignition is next cycled (off to on).
View ‘A’ that follows shows the ‘T/C’ off button (1) location for Right Hand drive models, while view ‘B’ shows the
Left Hand drive arrangement.
Figure 5B-25
Manual Transmission
On vehicles with manual transmission, the
electronic traction control disabling s witch (‘T/C’) is
located in the rear of the centre console in the
position shown (1).
If the traction control system is switched off, the
‘TRAC OFF’ display will be activated in the Multi
Function Display (MFD) in the Instrument (refer
Figure 5B-26). The system can be switched on
again by either pressing the ‘T/C’ button again or
when the ignition is next cycled (off to on).
NOTE 1: If the electronic traction control system is
commanded off, the ABS will still function normally.
NOTE 2: If the button is depress ed and held for 10
or mor e seconds, the ABS/ TCS control m odule will
see this as a short circuit and the TCS will be
permanently enabled (for that ignition cycle) until
the ignition is switched off and the engine
restarted. Additionally, the TRAC OFF warning
display (if activated) will be turned off until the
ignition is switched off and the engine restarted.

STOP LAMP SWITCH
Located in the brake pedal support, the stop lamp
switch provides a BRAKES APPLIED 12 volt input
signal to terminal X1-14 of the ABS or ABS/TCS
control module connector A37. W henever the ABS
or ABS/TCS co n tr ol modul e rec ei ves t his s i gna l th e
ABS control cycle will begin. If the driver pumps the
brake pedal during the ABS operation, the control
cycle will be reset.
The stop lamp switch is a normally ‘open’ switch
that supplies batter y voltage to the stop lam ps and
terminal X1-14 of the ABS or ABS/TCS control
module, when closed. When the switch is open
(brakes not applied), terminal X1-14 of the ABS or
ABS/TCS control module is earthed through the
stop lamps, causing the voltage at terminal X1-14
to be pulled low (less than 0.2 volts)
Also, if the ABS or ABS/TCS control module
senses a stop lamp switch input, the self test will
not occur until the vehicle is travelling at
approximately 18 km/h.

2.5 ABS PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION – EXCLUDING ABS/TCS
NON-ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
Under normal braking conditions, the anti-lock braking system functions much like a conventional braking system .
Brake fluid pressure is provided by the brake master cylinder and the power booster.
For non-ant i-lock braking, h ydraulic pr essure is applied to the brak e calipers without any inter vention f rom the ABS
At this t ime, the hydraulic modulator establishes an open two-wa y f luid pat h from the m aster cylinder to the brake
calipers. Normal braking (no ABS) occurs when the wheel sensors do not detect wheel lock-up tendencies.
However, even thr ough t he AB S is pas sive duri ng nor m al braking, th e ABS c ontrol module is c onstant ly monitor in g
for rapid deceleration of any of the wheels and a sign al from the brak e switch (brakes applied input). Rapid whee l
deceleration during a braking operation could indicate wheel lock-up.
ANTI-LOCK BR AKING
When the ABS senses any tendency for wheel lock-up, it enters the anti-lock mode. During anti-lock braking, the
ABS m odulates h ydraulic pr essure in the brak e circ uits to control whee l slip to 10 – 20%. F or anti-lock braking, the
ABS control module controls current flow to the hydraulic modulator solenoid valves to control (by maintaining,
decreasing or increasing) hydraulic pressure in the brake circuits.
NOTE: The hydraulic modulator cannot increase brake circuit hydraulic pressure above the pressure supplied by
the brake master cylinder.
ABS CONTROL MODULE OPERATION
Inputs
The following ABS components send signals to the ABS contro l module where the y are evaluated in order for the
module to maintain and control wheel slip.
1. Ignition on input, (via fusible link F103, ignition switch S149, fuse F27) – ABS control module A37, terminal
X1 15.
2. Wheel speed sensor inputs – ABS control module A37 terminals X1 1 and 2 (RHR), X1 4 and 5 (RHF), X1 6
and 7 (LHF) and X1 8 and 9 (LHR).
3. Brakes applied input (from brake lamp switch) – ABS control module 37, terminal X1 14.
4. Battery voltage – ABS control module A37 terminals X1 17 and 18.
5. Serial data (input and output) – ABS control module A37, terminal X1 11.
Outputs
To control the anti-lock braking system, the ABS control module sends command signals to the following
components.
1. Valve relay/solenoid valves – internal control.
2. Pump relay/pump motor – internal control.
3. Serial data (input and output) – ABS control module terminal No. 11.
4. Self diagnostic 'Flash Code Actuation' – ABS control module terminal No. 12.
5. ABS warning lamp – ABS control module terminal No. 21.
W ith the igniti on s witch in t he ON posit ion, b atter y volt age is appl ied to the A BS c ontrol m odule term inal N o. 15 via
fuse F27. This then enables the ABS control module and battery voltage is applied to the pump motor relay and
valve relay. Neither of the relays operate until they receive an earth from the ABS control module.
Also, batt ery vo ltage is suppli ed to the ABS war ning la mp via f use F13. T he warni ng lam p will not i lluminate until it
is earthe d by the AB S control m odule. If the A BS module is not conn ected, term inals 19, 20 a nd 21 will b e shorted
together within the connector and the ABS warning lamp will be illuminated.
Wheel speed sensors are located at each front wheel and at each final drive inner axle flange. When the vehicle
starts moving, all of the speed sensors create signals that are sensed by the ABS control module at terminals 1 and
2, 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 8 and 9. These signals are AC electrical pulses that are proportional (in frequency and
amplitude) to wheel rotational speed.
Once the vehicle has b een s tarted and dr iven o ver a pprox im ately 6 km /h, the cont rol m odule p erf orm s an ABS s elf
test. The control m odule test cycles each solenoid valve and the return pum p in the hydraulic modulator to check
component operation. The control module checks its own logic section and circuitry. If errors are detected during
this test, the control module will earth terminal 21, illuminating the ABS warning lamp to warn the driver of a
problem with the system. The ABS control module remains deactivated until the next ignition switch OFF to ON
cycle when the process is repeated and if errors are detected again, the ABS warning lamp will be illuminated.
The ABS self test occurs once each ignition cycle as follows:
1. After receiving an ignition 'ON' input, the control module earth’s and activates the valve relay.
2. When the vehicle reaches approximately 6 km/h, the control module tests the solenoid valves and the return
pump in the modulator. This test can usually be heard and/or felt by the driver.
3. If the pump or solenoid valves fail to operate, the ABS will be disabled and the ABS warning lamp will be
illuminated.
4. As soon as the ABS control module receives a signal from any of the wheel speed sensors, it checks wheel
speed sensor output. If any of th e wheel speed sensor signals are no t detected, or are incorrect, the ABS will
be disabled and the ABS warning lamp will be illuminated.
Once the vehicle is moving, the control module continuously monitors itself and the following components:
1. Solenoid valves.
2. Wheel speed sensors.
3. Wiring harness and relays.
4. Battery voltage.
If battery voltage drops below approximately 9 volts, the ABS will be disabled and the ABS warning lamp will be
illuminated.
During braking applications, if one or more wheels start to decelerate too quickly, the ABS is engaged and the
modulatio n proc ess b egins . W heel s peed inf orm ation s ent to th e AB S contro l m odule is proces sed and th e modu le
determines proper solenoid valve operation in the modulator. The modulator contains six solenoid valves; two for
each front wheel with the rear wheels both having two common solenoid valves.
Figure 5B-38 – ABS Circuit – V6 Engines
HYDRAULIC MODULATOR OPERATION
The hydraulic modulator executes ABS control module commands using six solenoid valves. These solenoid
valves, located in the hydraulic modulator assembly, are in series with the brake master cylinder and the brake
circuits. The hydraulic modulator solenoid valves are activated separately by the ABS control module
corresponding to various ABS control phases:
1. Non-ABS Braking
2. Maintaining Pressure
3. Reducing Pressure
4. Increasing (Building-up) Pressure
The hydraulic modulator assembly contains six solenoid valves and a brake fluid return pump; however, for
explanat ion of the operation only one accum ulator and two solenoid valves will be described. The operation is the
same for all three circuits.
Non-ABS Braking
During this condition, the solenoid valves 2a and
2b are not activated. Valve 2a (pressure holding
(inlet) solenoid valve) is open (A). This allows
brake fluid to flow in either direction between the
brake master cylinder and the brake caliper,
providing for conventional non-ABS braking. The
solenoid valve 2b (pressure release (outlet)
solenoid valve) is closed (B), blocking off the
passage to the accumulator and the return pump.
This allows the maximum brak e apply pressure (2)
to be developed (‘A’), with the controlled
deceleration of wheel speed (1).
Figure 5B-39
The brake master cylinder (1) applies hydraulic pressure to the brake circuits (3). If the ABS control module (5)
does not detect any rapid wheel deceleration, the ABS will remain passive at this time.

Maintaining Pres su re
When the ABS control module detects excessive
wheel deceleration (based on the wheel speed
sensor (4) signal), it commands the pressure
holding (inlet) solenoid valve (2a) to close,
maintaining brake circuit pressure (A). It does this
by earthing the respective circuit, therefore
allowing a current flow through the coil of solenoid
valve 2a. This causes the armature and valve to
mo ve downwar d, iso lating t he brak e circ uit (3) f rom
the master cylinder.
Solenoid valve 2b also remains closed (B).
Figure 5B-48 shows that, with a rapidly
decelerating wheel speed (1), the brake apply
pressure (2), is maintained (‘A’). This results in the
wheel speed deceleration rate slowing down.
Figure 5B-41
NOTE: With the brake circuit isolated, brake circuit pressure between the modulator and the brake caliper circuit
remains constant despite increased master cylinder hydraulic pressure.

Reducing Pres s ure
If isolation of a brake circuit between the brake
master cylinder and the brake caliper does not
reduce the excessive wheel deceleration, the ABS
control m odule ( 5) com m ands the pr essur e releas e
(outlet) solenoid valve (2b) to reduce hydraulic
brake pressure in the brake circuit.
During this phase, the ABS control module earths
the coil of the solenoid valve 2b, al lowing a current
flow through the coil windings. This causes the
armature and valve to move downward, opening a
passage (B) from the brake circuit to the
accumulator (2c) and the return pump inlet (2d).
At this stage, both solenoid valves (2a and 2 b) are
activated simultaneously.

Accumulators
During the 'Reducing Pressure' reduction phase of ABS modulation, the accumulators (2c) temporarily store fluid
from the brak e cir cuits. So m e road c onditions r equire the re lief of a lar ge vol um e of f luid fr om the br ake c aliper s. In
such cond itions, the ac cumulat or guarantees pr essure reduc tion. As soo n as the s olenoid valve ( 2b) moves to the
'Reduction Pressure' pos ition, brak e fluid from the brak e circuit flows into the ac cumulator. T hus, before t he return
pump ( 2d) starts opera tion, the accumulator allows an im mediate pres sure reduct ion in the br ake circuit. T he fr ont
brak e cir cuits s hare a common acc um ulator. T he r ear br ake circuit us es a s epar ate acc umulator . T he ac c umulators
are spring-loaded and designed to operate at less than 1,000 kPa.
Increasing (Building-up) Pressure
The wheel accelerates again as a result of the
reduced braking pressure. Upon reaching a
specific limit, the ABS control module registers the
fact that the wheel is now not being braked
sufficiently.
The ABS control module then de-energises both
solenoid valves and the for merly reduced pressure
is then increased so that the wheel is again
decelerated. The ABS control cycle begins again.
There are approximately 4 to 6 control cycles per
second, depending on the state of the road
surface.
NOTE: Circuit pressure cannot increase above
master cylinder pressure.

MASTER CYLINDER OPERATION
The operation of the master cylinder assembly used on vehicles with ABS is the same as the assembly used on
vehicles without A BS ; r ef er to Section 5A SERVICE AND PAR K BRAKING SYSTEMS in the MY 2003 VY and V2
Series Service Information for details.
OPERA TION AND TESTING OF THE ABS WARNING LAMP
Should a ve hicle equip ped with ABS co me into the work shop with one of the f ollowing custom er comp laints, mak e
sure of the circumstances before checking the complete ABS with the Tech 2 diagnostic scan tool.
1. Warning lamp does not illuminate after switching on the ignition.
2. Warning lamp does not go out after engine has started.
3. Warning lamp illuminates again while driving or illuminates occasionally.
The following gives information about the functioning and malfunctioning of the ABS warning lamp.
ABS Warning Lamp
W hen the ignit ion is s witched o n, the warning lam p
illuminates for approximately 2 seconds. During
this period of time, the ABS control module
performs a check of the ABS system wiring.
On all vehicles with ABS, as soon as all four
wheels of the vehicle exceed a speed of
approximately 6 km/h for the first time after
starting, the ABS system tests itself automatically
(ABS 'Self-Test'). The ABS control module cycles
each solenoid valve and the return pump motor to
check component operation. The ABS control
module also checks its own circuitry.
This procedure is repeated every time the ignition
is s witched O FF and t he e ngine is star ted again. In
addition, the ABS constantly tests itself while the
ve hicle is travelling.
The warning lamp is also used for self diagnosis
purposes.
Figure 5B-47
Incorrect Warning Lamp Indications
1. Warning lamp does not illuminate after switching ignition ON.
2. Warning lamp does not go out after approximately 2 seconds.
3. Warning lamp illuminates when driving or illuminates occasionally.
Illumination of the ABS warning lamp indicates to the driver that the ABS is defective.
When the ABS warning lamp is activated, the vehicle reverts to normal braking as in vehicles without ABS fitted
(i.e. under emergency braking, wheel/s may lock).
Occas ional il lumination of the warning lamp ma y be brought about throu gh the ba ttery being insuf f icient l y charged.
The lamp lights up only as long as there is a low voltage, eg. after switching on electrical components at idle.
The c auses of any m alfunctions can be determined with the assis tance of the T ech 2 diagnostic scan tool a nd the
appropriate diagnostic table.
2.6 ABS/TCS PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION - EXCLUDING ABS
NON-ANTI-LOCK BRAKING / NON-TRACTION CONTROL
Under normal braking and driving conditions, the anti-lock braking system functions much like a conventional
braking system. Brake fluid pressure is provided by the brake master cylinder and the power booster.
For non-ant i-lock br aking, hydraul ic pressure is applied to the brak e caliper with out any interve ntion from the ABS.
At this t ime, the hydraulic modulator establishes an open two-wa y f luid pat h from the m aster cylinder to the brake
caliper. Non-anti-lock braking occurs when the wheel sensors do not detect wheel lock-up tendencies. However,
even though the ABS is passive during normal braking, the ABS/TCS module is constantly monitoring for rapid
acceleration (wheel slip) and deceleration (wheel lock) of any of the wheels and a signal from the brake switch
(brakes applied input).
ANTI-LOCK BR AKING
When the ABS senses any tendency for wheel lock-up, it enters the anti-lock mode. During anti-lock braking, the
ABS m odulates hydraulic pressur e in the brake circ uits to control wheel sli p to 10 - 20%. For anti-l ock brak ing, the
ABS control module controls current flow to the hydraulic modulator solenoid valves to control (by maintaining,
decreasing or increasing) hydraulic pressure in the brake circuits.
NOTE: The hydraulic modulator cannot increase brake circuit hydraulic pressure above the pressure supplied by
the brake master cylinder during anti-lock braking.
ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL
W hen the ABS/TCS control module s enses spin fr om the dr ive wheels du e to too much engine tor que for the road
conditions, it enters the traction control mode. While the ABS/TCS module monitors both front and rear wheel
speeds through the wheel speed sensors, the action taken will change, depending on the engine fitted to the
vehicle.
V6 Engined Veh ic les
During acceleration, if the ABS/TCS module detects drive wheel slip at any time, it will request (on the Torque
Request circuit) the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to bring engine torque into a specific range. This is
accomplished via two high speed Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuits between the ABS/TCS module and the
PCM. The PCM wi ll the n adj ust spar k firing and a ir/fuel r atio, alterin g boos t dut y c ycle ( Superc harged engin e onl y),
and shutting OFF up to five (5) injectors (if necessary), and report the modified torque value (on the Torque
Achieved circuit) back to the ABS/TCS module. Simultaneous with engine torque management, the ABS/TCS
module will activa te the ABS isolation valves, turn on the ABS pum p motor and supply brake pressure to the over
spinning wheel(s).
GEN III V8 Engined Ve hicl es
If at any time during acceleration, the ABS/TCS module detects drive wheel slip, it will request:
The PCM, via the spark retard circuit, to retard the amount of spark advance.
The throttl e r el axer c ontro l module to r e duce the engine thr ott le ope ni ng by a cer t ain perc ent age to bring en g ine
torque into a specific range.
The throttle relaxer control module accomplishes this by commanding the throttle relaxer to override the
accelerator pedal cable and physically reduce the throttle body butterfly opening by winding the throttle cable
back.
T his is achieved via two hi gh speed Pulse Width Mod ulated (PW M) circuits between the AB S/TCS m odule and
the throttl e r e laxer c on tr ol module. T he A BS/TCS c o n tr ol module s ends a mes s age to the thr ot tle r el axe r c o ntr ol
module on the requested throttle position (DKR) circuit. The throttle relaxer control module then reports the
modified throttle position opening back to the ABS/TCS control module via the actual throttle position (DKI)
circuit.
Simultaneously with eng ine s par k retard and throttl e p os ition i nter vent io n, th e A B S/TCS contr ol module will ac tiv ate
the ABS isolation valves, turn on the ABS pump motor and supply brake pressure to the over spinning wheel(s).
The isolation valves isolate the front brake hydraulic circuits from the master cylinder and rear brake hydraulic
circuits. Once the rear brake hydraulic circuits are isolated, pressure can be applied to the rear wheels without
aff ecting an y other brak e hydraul ic circuits . The AB S/T CS hydraulic module opens the priming valve, a llowing f luid
to be drawn from the master cylinder to the pum p motor, which is then activated, building pressure. The hydraulic
module, in let and outlet va lves begin c ycli ng and the switchi ng valve clos es, ensuring f luid is direct ed to the wheel
and not back into the master cylinder.
The inlet and outlet valve cycling assists in obtaining maximum road surface traction in the same manner as the
Anti-Lock Brake mode. The difference between Traction Control and Anti-Lock Brake mode is that brake fluid
pressure is increased to lesson wheel spin (Traction Control mode), rather then reduced to allow greater wheel spin
(Anti-Lock Brake mode).
If at any time during Traction Control mode, the brakes are manually applied, the brake switch signals the
ABS/TCS module to inhibit brake intervention and allow for manual braking. However, engine intervention (V6
engines) or, throttle reduction and spark retard intervention (GEN III V8), can still occur if necessary.
ABS/TCS CONTROL MODULE OPERATION
Inputs
The f ollowing com ponents, send signals to the AB S/TCS contr ol m odule, where t hey are eva luated in ord er for the
module to maintain and control wheel slip/spin.
1. Ignition on input, (via fusible link F105, ignition switch, fuse F27) - ABS/TCS module terminal X1- 15.
2. W heel speed sensor inputs - ABS/TCS module terminal No’s. LHF X1-6 and X1-7, RHF X1-4 and X1-5, LHR
X1-8 and X1-9, and RHR X1-1 and X1-2.
3. Brakes applied input (from brake lamp switch) - ABS/TCS module terminal X1- 14.
4. Batt er y volta ge - AB S/T C S module term inals X1- 17 an d X1-18.
5. V6 Engines: Actual Torque (torque acknowledgment) - ABS/TCS module terminal X1-27.

6. Engine speed signal - ABS/TCS module terminal X1-30.
7. TCS disable switch (TRAC CTRL) - ABS/TCS module terminal X1-31.
8. GEN III V8 Engine: Serial data (input and output) - ABS/TCS control module terminal X1-11.
Outputs
To c ontrol the anti- lock brak ing system and tr action contr ol system , the ABS/TCS c ontrol modul e sends com mand
signals to the following components.
1. Valve relay/solenoid valves – internal control.
2. Pump relay/pump motor – internal control.
3. Serial data – ABS/TCS module terminal X1-11.
4. Self diagnostic 'Flash Code Actuation' – ABS/TCS module terminal X1-12.
5. V6 Engines: Torque requested – ABS/TCS module terminal X1-13.
GEN III V8 Engine: Requested throttle position – ABS/TCS control module terminal X1-13.
6. TCS warning lamp (TRAC OFF, LOW TRAC) – ABS/TCS module terminal X1-20.
7. ABS warning lamp – ABS/TCS module terminal X1-21.
8. GEN III V8 Engine: Requested spark retard – ABS/TCS control module terminal X1-28.
W ith the igniti on sw itch in the o n pos ition, bat ter y volt age is applie d to the ABS /TCS c ontr ol m odule t erm inal X1 -15
via fuse F27. Batter y voltage is also applied to the pum p motor relay and valve rela y via fusible link F103. Neither
of the relays operate until they receive an earth from the ABS/TCS control module.
Also, battery voltage is supplied to the ABS and TCS warning lamps via fuse F13. The LOW TRAC and ABS
warning lamps will n ot ill um inat e un ti l th e y are ear t hed b y AB S/T CS c ontr o l module. If the AB S/T CS c ontr o l module
wiring harn es s connec tor A 37, is not c on nec te d to the c ontrol module, t er minals 19, 20 an d 21 ar e s horte d to geth e r
by a shorting b ar , a nd the LOW TRAC and A BS warn in g l amps will be i lluminat ed. The T RAC O F F war ni ng la mp is
defaulted to the ON position and is turned off via a serial data message from the ABS/TCS control module when
the ignition is turned on (provided the system is OK).
Wheel speed sensors are located at each front wheel and at each final drive inner axle flange. When the vehicle
starts moving, all of the speed sensors create signals that are input to the ABS/TCS control module at terminals
X1-1 and X1-2, X1-4 and X1-5, X1-6 and X1-7, X1-8 and X1-9. These signals are AC electrical pulses that are
proportional (in frequency and amplitude) to wheel rotational speed.
Once the vehicle has been started and driven over approximately 6 km/h, the control module performs an
ABS/TCS self test. The control module test cycles each solenoid valve and the return pump in the hydraulic
modulator to check component operation. The control module checks its own logic section and circuitry. If errors
are detected during this test, the control module earths terminal 20, and illuminates the ABS warning lamp, while
the ABS/TCS control module sends a message, via the serial data circuit, commanding the TRAC OFF warning
lamp to be illuminated. The ABS and/or TCS warning lamp/s are illuminated to warn the driver of a problem with the
system/s. The ABS/TCS control module remains deactivated until the next ignition switch OFF to ON cycle when
the process is repeated and the ABS and/or TRAC warning lamp/s will be illuminated.
Figure 5B-48ABS/TCS – All Engines
The ABS self test occurs once each ignition cycle as follows:
1. After receiving an ignition ON input, the control module earths and activates the valve relay.
2. As soon as the ABS/TCS control module receives a signal from any of the wheel speed sensors, it checks
wheel speed sensor output. If any of the wheel speed sensor signals are not detected, or are incorrect, the
ABS/TCS system will be disabled and the warning lamps will be illuminated.
3. When the vehicle reaches approximately 6 km/h, the control module tests the solenoid valves and the return
pump in the modulator. This test can usually be heard and/or felt by the driver.
4. If the pump or solenoid va lves fail to operate, th e ABS/T CS system will be disabl ed and the war ning lam ps will
be illuminated.
Once the vehicle is moving (above 6 km/h), the control module continuously monitors itself and the following
components:
1. Solenoid valves.
2. Wheel speed sensors.
3. Wiring harness and relays.
4. Battery voltage.
If battery voltage drops below approximately 9 volts, the ABS/TCS will be disabled and the ABS and TRAC OFF
warning lamps will be illuminate d.
During braking applications, if one or more wheels start to decelerate too quickly, the ABS is engaged and the
modulation process begins. Wheel speed information sent to the ABS/TCS control module is processed and the
module determines proper solenoid valve operation in the modulator. The modulator contains ten solenoid valves;
one inlet and one outlet valve for each wheel.
When wheel spin is detected and traction control mode begins, the ABS/TCS control module also engages ABS
through the modulation process. Additionally, the ABS/TCS control module simultaneously changes the engine
torque conditions through the use of engine torque management.
HYDRAULIC MODULATOR OPERATION
The hydraulic modulator executes ABS control module commands using ten solenoid valves. These solenoid
valves, located in the hydraulic modulator assembly, are in series with the brake master cylinder and the brake
circuits. The hydraulic modulator solenoid valves are activated separately by the ABS/TCS control module
corresponding to various ABS or TCS control phases:
1. Non-ABS Braking (ABS and TCS phases)
2. Maintaining Pressure (ABS phase)
3. Reducing Pressure (ABS phase)
4. Increasing (Building-up) Pressure (ABS phase)
5. Normal condition (ABS and TCS phases – brakes off)
6. Applying (TCS phase)
The hydraulic modulator assembly contains ten solenoid valves and a brake fluid return pump; however, for
explanation of the operation only one accumulator and four solenoid valves will be described (rear brakes). The
operation is the same for all four circuits.
Non-ABS Braking (ABS and TCS phases)
Condition Description
During this normal brake application, brake apply
pressure (2) reaches maximum level (‘A’), causing
the wheel speed (1) to decelerate at the m aximum
optimum level.
Control Action
During normal brake application, the inlet and
outlet valves are not activated. The inlet valve
(pressure holding solenoid valve) is open. This
allows brake fluid to flow in either direction
between the brake master cylinder and the brake
caliper, providing for conventional non-ABS
braking. The outlet valve (pressure release outlet
solenoid valve) is closed, blocking off the passage
to the accumulator and the return pump.
The brake master cylinder hydraulic pressure is
applied to the brake circuits (caliper). If the
ABS/TCS control module (not shown) does not
detect any rapid wheel deceleration, the ABS will
remain passive at this time.

Reducing Pressure (ABS phase)
NOTE: The following diagram and explanation
assumes the right hand rear wheel is having a
tendenc y to lock .
Condition Description
If isolation of a brake circuit between the brake
master cylinder and the brake caliper does not
reduce the excessive wheel deceleration (1), the
ABS/TCS control module commands the hydraulic
modulator to reduce the brake apply pressure (2)
to a reduced level (‘A’).
Control Action
From an ABS/TCS control module command, the
modulator reduces hydraulic brake pressure in the
brake circuit (RH outlet valve in this case), by
openin g the ou tlet v alve (pr ess ure rele ase s oleno id
valve). During this phase, the ABS/TCS control
module earth’s the coil of the RH outlet valve,
allowing a current flow through the coil windings.
This causes the armature and valve to move
downward, opening a passage from the brake
circuit to the accumulator and the pump assembly
inlet.
Figure 5B-53
At this stage, both the RH inlet and RH outlet
valves are activated simultaneously.
Because the brake pedal is still being depressed
during this phase, the released pressure from the
caliper has to be greater than that of the pressure
of the normal (non-ABS) brake circuit. To do this,
the pump motor is energised and the pump
becomes operational. This will increase the return
flow pressure from the caliper, thus allowing the
fluid released from the caliper to be returned back
to the master cylinder. The pump will continue to
operate during the rest of the anti-lock brake cycle.

Accumulators
During the 'Reducing Pressure' reduction phase of
ABS m odulat ion, th e accu m ulators (2c) tempor arily
store fluid from the brake circuits. Some road
conditions require the relief of a large volume of
fluid fr om the brak e caliper. In suc h conditio ns, the
accumulator guarantees pressure reduction. As
soon as the solenoid valve (2b) moves to the
'Reduction Pressure' position, brake fluid from the
brake circuit flows into the accumulator. Thus,
before the return pump (2d) starts operation, the
accumulator allows an immediate pressure
reduction in the brake circuit. The front brake
circuits share a common accumulator. The rear
brake circuit uses a separate accumulator. The
accumulators are spring-loaded and designed to
operate at less than 1,00 0 kPa.

reaching a specific limit, the ABS control module

(‘A’).
Control Action
The ABS control module then de-energises both
the RH inlet and RH outlet valves and the formerly
reduced pressure is then increased so that the
wheel is again decelerated. The ABS control cycle
begins again. There is approximately 4 – 6 control
cycles per second, depending on the state of the
road surface.

Brake Intervention
In the next schematic, the right hand wheel speed sensor has detected that the wheel is about to enter into a
situation where wheel slippage is about to occur from excess engine torque for the road condition.
The ABS/TCS control module commands the priming valve open, allowing fluid to be drawn from the master
cylinder b y the pum p as sem bly. The switc hing va lve is closed, ens uring f luid is d irected to th e whe els an d not bac k

With the right wheel tending to spin, the left inlet valve closes, allowing the brakes to be applied only to the right
wheel. This will transfer the torque to the left wheel. This operation can be applied approximately 4 – 6 times a
second and can function on either of the driven wheels, or both.

Engine Torque Management – V6 Engines Only
At the same time the ABS/TCS control module initiates brake intervention, it also communicates with the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), requesting the PCM to bring the engine torque into a specific range.
With the ignition on and the engine not running, the ABS/TCS control module constantly sends a Pulse Width
Modulat ed (PW M) signal with a duty cyc le of 93% to t he PCM. T he PCM respon ds with a PW M signal with a dut y
cycle of 5%. When the engine is started, the duty cycle of the torque acknowledgment signal will increase to
approximately 30% at idle. When the ABS/TCS control module determines that a reduction in engine torque is
required, the torque requested signal will decrease from 93% (no torque reduction) to 30% (maximum torque
reductio n) the PCM will the n reduce the engin e torque to the req uired am ount by adjusting s park firing and a ir/fuel
ratio, alt ering boost dut y cycle (Superc harged V6 e ngine only) and sh utting OFF up to f ive injector s (if necess ary).
During trac tion control, the duty cycle of the torque ack nowledgm ent signal s hould be sim ilar to and follo w the duty
cycle of the torque requested signal.
Engine Spark and Throttle Position Intervention – GEN III V8 Engine Only
At the same time the ABS/TCS control module initiates brake intervention, it also communicates with the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the throttle relaxer control module requesting the PCM to retard the spark
advance and for the throttle relaxer control module to reduce the throttle opening.
With the engine running, the PCM continually supplies and monitors a 12 volt pull-up voltage to the spark retard
circuit. T he ABS/T CS co ntrol m odule re quests sp ark retard by p ulling this voltage low. T he PCM th en res ponds b y
reducing the spark advance of the engine.
The AB S/TC S contr ol m odule constan tl y sends a Pu lse Width Modulated (PWM) signal a t 90% with a fr equenc y of
100Hz to th e throttle rel ax e r c ontr ol module on th e req ues ted throttle pos it io n li ne ( DKR) T his s ignal is to i ndi c ate to
the throttle relaxer control module that the traction control system (TCS) is in a state of readiness.
With the engine running, the ABS/TCS control module constantly sends a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal
with a duty cycle of 90% to the throttle relaxer control module via the requested throttle position line (DKR). The
throttle relaxer control module responds on the actual throttle position line (DKI) with a PWM signal with a duty
cycle of 9%.
When the ABS/TCS control module determines that a reduction in throttle is required, it reduces the PWM signal on
the requested throttle position line (DKR), from 90% (no throttle reduction) to as low as approximately 14%
(maximum throttle reduction). The throttle relaxer control module then drives the throttle relaxer motor, overriding
the accelerator pedal command (drivers foot), pulling the throttle cable back, and thus, closing the amount of
throttle opening.
MASTER CYLINDER OPERATION
The operation of the master cylinder assembly used on vehicles with ABS is the same as the assembly used on
vehicles wit hout ABS, refer to Section 5A SERVICE AND PARK BR AKING SY STEM in the MY 2003 VY and V2
Series Service Information for details.
OPERA TION AND TESTING OF THE ABS AND ‘TRAC OFF’ WARNING LAMPS
Should a vehicle equipped with ABS/TCS come into the workshop with one of the following customer complaints,
make sure of the circumstances before checking the complete ABS/TCS with the Tech 2 diagnostic scan tool.
1. Warning lamp(s) does not illuminate after switching the ignition on.
2. Warning lamp(s) does not go out after engine has started.
3. Warning lamp(s) illuminates again while driving or illuminates occasionally.
The following information describes the functioning and malfunctioning of the ‘ABS’ and ‘TRAC OFF’ warning
lamps.
‘ABS’ and ‘TRAC OFF’ Warning Displays
When the ignition is switched on, the ‘ABS’ warning display is activated for approximately two seconds and the
‘TRAC O FF warn in g l amp for appr oximately fiv e s econds ( with eng ine r unn in g, ‘TRAC OF F ’ dis p lay is activat ed for
only two s econds als o). During t his per iod of tim e, the AB S/TCS contr ol m odule per forms a c heck of the ABS/TCS
system wiring.
On all vehicles with ABS/TCS, as soon as all four wheels of the vehicle exceed a speed of approximately 6 km/h for
the first time after starting, the ABS/TCS system tests itself automatically (ABS/TCS 'Self-Test'). The ABS/TCS
control module cycles each solenoid valve and the return pump motor in the hydraulic modulator to check
component operation. The ABS/TCS control module also checks its own circuitry.
Figure 5B-59
This procedure is repeated every time the ignition is switched off and the engine is started again.
In addition, the ABS/TCS system constantly tests itself while the vehicle is travelling. The warning display is also
used for self diagnosis purposes.
NOTE: The ‘TRAC OFF’ warning display will also be activated if the ‘T/C’ button has been pressed. The ‘TRAC
OFF’ light will then stay activated until either the ignition is switched off or the ‘T/C’ button is pressed again.
Incorrect Warning Lamp Indications (‘ABS’ and ‘TRAC
OFF’)
1. Warning display(s) is not activated after switching ignition ON.
2. Warning display(s) is not de-activated after approximately 2 seconds.
3. Warning display(s) is activated when driving or is activated occasionally.
NOTE: The ‘T RAC OFF’ warnin g displa y will be acti vated if the s ystem is manually s witched of f b y the ‘T /C’ s witch
located in t he console and the ‘LOW TRAC’ warning display will flash if the TCS system is functioning (in a whee l
spin situation). If either of these displays are activated under these conditions, the system is functioning correctly.
Activat ion of the ABS warni ng lamp indica tes to the dri ver that the AB S is defecti v e.
Activation of the ‘TRAC OFF’ warning display indicates to the driver that the TCS system is either manually
disabled or defective.
When the ABS warning lamp is activated, the vehicle reverts to normal braking as in vehicles without ABS fitted
(e.g. under emergency braking, wheel/s may lock).
When the ‘TRAC OFF’ warning display is activated, the ABS still functions correctly.
Occasional activation of the warning lamps may be brought about through the battery being insufficiently charged.
The display is only activated as long as there is a low voltage, e.g. after switching on electrical components at idle.
The causes of any malfunction can be determined with the assistance of the Tech 2 diagnostic scan tool.
‘LOW TRAC’ Warning Display
The ‘LOW TRAC’ display in the Multi-Function
Display (MFD) (1), is used to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in a critical driving situation and that
the TCS system has been engaged to control
wheel spin.

3. SERVICE OPERATIONS
3.1 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
The f ollowing infor m ation is gener al saf ety and prec aut ionar y meas ures tha t m ust be o bser ved when ser vicin g and
diagnosing the ABS or ABS/TCS system.
BEFORE TESTING FOR AN ABS OR ABS/TCS FAULT, ENSURE THAT CONVENTIONAL BRAKES ARE
WORKING CORRECTLY.
ABS and ABS/TCS are basically maintenance-free, however, when working on a vehicle with either of these
systems, the following points must be observed:
1. Whenever welding with electric welding equipment, disconnect wiring harness plug from the ABS or ABS/TCS
control module.
2. W henever painting a vehicl e using dr yin g techniques t hat put the tem perature ab ove +85°C f or mor e than one
hour, remove the ABS or ABS/TCS control module from the vehicle.
3. During any service operation that requires the replacement of the hydraulic modulator, the ABS or ABS/TCS
control module, wheel speed sensors, wiring harness, as well as after work procedures in which contact is
made with the various A BS and TCS assemblies (eg. accident repair), the com plete ABS or ABS/TCS system
MUST be checked, refer to 4.4, ABS, ABS/TCS FUNCTION AL CHECK in this Section.
Make sure that the brake lines, wheel speed sensor connections on the ABS control module, and the wheel
speed se ns or wiring harness c onnec tions ar e ass igne d c orr ec tl y (ref er to AB S an d AB S/TCS wiring di agr am, in
Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS in this Service Inform ation.
4. After any work is carried out on the brake system, the brake system must be bled and a high-pressure test
conducted. All junctions must be tested for leakage.
5. Be sure to properly tighten the battery cable terminals on the terminal posts of the battery.
6. Do not use a fast charger for starting the vehicle.
7. Never disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system while the engine is running.
8. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system before charging.
9. Make sure that all connectors of the wiring harness are seated correctly.
10. Never disconnect or connect the ABS or ABS/TCS control module wiring harness connector when the battery is
connecte d or the igniti on is turned on.
11. Always use suitable wiring harness test leads (such as those in KM-609) when carrying out any test on the
ABS or ABS/TCS control module wiring harness connector to avoid terminal damage.
12. Always caref ully note th e routing, pos iti on, mount ing a nd loc at ion of A BS or A BS/T CS wir in g, co nnec t or s , cli ps ,
brackets. As ABS and ABS/TCS components are extremely sensitive to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
Proper mounting is critical when servicing ABS or ABS/TCS components.
13. Do not hang the suspension components by the wheel speed sensor cables; these cables are delicate.
14. Some components of the ABS or ABS/TCS are not serviced separately and must be replaced as assemblies.
15. F or saf ety reaso ns, th e h ydraulic m odul ator and / or c ontro l m odule m ust never be repa ired. Rep air of eith er of
these two units is b y rep lacement only. Apart from the brak e line connections a nd the six screws securing the
control module to the hydraulic modulator, no screws at the hydraulic modulator may be loosened. Once they
are loosened, it is impossible to make the brake circuits leak-free ever again!
16. Special wiring repair procedures have been developed for use on the ABS and ABS/TCS due to
the sensitive nature of the circuitry. These specific procedures and instructions are detailed in
Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS in this Service Information. THE PROCEDURES DETAILED IN THIS
INFORMATION ARE THE ONLY RECOMMENDED AND APPROVED ABS OR ABS/TCS WIRING REPAIR
METHODS.
DANGER OF FATAL ACCIDENT
Caution when handling brake fluid
A. Even the slightest trace of mineral oil leads to failure of the brake system. Special care must be taken with
colourless or yellow-tinted brake fluid, since the danger of a mix-up is greatest with such fluid. If mineral oil is
found in the brake system or there is a suspic ion of mineral oil being in the brake system, the complete brake
system must be thoroughly flushed out with the correct type of brake fluid (only use fluid to Super Dot 4 Plus
specification). In addition to this, the master cylinder must be replaced.
B. Do not allow brake fluid to come in contact with paintwork of the vehicle, since the fluid attacks the paint.
C. Brake f luid is ex c eedingly hygros copic; ie. a bs or bs moisture from the air , thus r ed uc ing i ts boi li ng po int . For this
reason, brake fluid must be stored only in well-sealed storage containers.
NOTE: As the operation time progresses, the boiling point of the brake fluid drops owing to the brake fluid
permanently absorbing m oisture from the atmosphere. If the brakes are subjected to very severe loading, this can
lead to vapour-bubble formation in the brake system.
Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced at the time or distance intervals as specified in Section 0B
LUBRICATION AND SERVICE in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information.
IMPORTANT: ABS AND ABS/TCS ARE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEMS. WORK ON THESE SYSTEMS
PRESUPPOSES DETAILED SYSTEM KNOWLEDGE.
The above precautions are not exhaustive and are to be followed when working on an ABS or ABS/TCS
equipped vehicle. Become familiar with the ABS or ABS/TCS and how it may be interrelated to other
components on the vehicle when performing service work.
3.2 BRAKE SYSTEM BLEED
General brake bleeding for the ABS and ABS/TCS systems are the same as for the standard braking system. Refer
2.4 Brak e System Bleed, i n Section 5 A SERVI CE AND P ARK BRAKING SY STEMS, in th e MY 2003 VY and V2
Series Service Information.
However, when bleeding operations involve the ABS Hydraulic Control Module, specific procedures must be
followed, that require the use of Tech 2. Refer F4: Miscellaneous Tests, in 4.8 TECH 2 TEST MODES AND
SCREEN DISPLAYS FOR ABS AND TCS DIAGNOSIS, in this Section.

FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
NOTE: The front wheel speed sensors are incorporated as part of the front suspension front wheel hub assembly.
Apart from wheel stud replacement, there are no serviceable items in the front wheel hub assembly.
With the unit being a 'sealed for life' assembly, there are no requirements for wheel speed sensor and/or bearing
adjustments. Should a non-standard condition develop, then the hub assembly must be replaced as a complete
unit.
There are three specific front wheel hub
assemblies available. For vehicles with ABS or
ABS/TCS, there is a right and left, which
incorporates the wheel speed sensor and a 48
tooth magnet impulse ring. For non ABS vehicles, a
common hub is used for both sides.
Identification of the front wheel hub assemblies is
by the assembly part number etched on the outer
surface (1) of the hub wheel flange or by simply
noting whether a wheel speed sensor cap is fitted
to the hub (2).
CAUTION: During any service operation that
requires the replacement of the front hub
assembly on a vehicle equipped with ABS/TCS,
ensure that the correct replacement hub
assembly is installed, otherwise malfunctioning
of the ABS or ABS/TCS will occur.
NOTE 1: Always refer to the latest spare parts
information (PartFinder®) for the correct front
wheel hub assembly part numbers.

CAUTION: Certain components in the Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Traction Control system are
not intended to be serviced individually. Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system components,
such as the solenoid valves or pump motor from the hydraulic modulator, may result in personal injury
and/or improper system operation. Only those components with approved removal and reinstallation
procedures described in 3. SERVICE OPERATIONS in this Section should be serviced.
Before attempting any diagnostic work on the ABS, refer to and read the 'SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES' as described in 3. SERVIC E OPERATIO NS in this Section.
4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The following information is necessary when diagnosing any Anti-lock Braking System problem or failure,
specifically it should be used to diagnose conditions that may cause the illumination of the ABS or TRAC OFF
warning displays in the instrument cluster.
Should conditions exist with the conventional (non ABS) portion of the braking system which cause the BRAKE
FAILURE warning lamp to illuminate (also in the instrument cluster), or there is some other obvious brake
mechanical problem, such as brake noise, brake pulsation (pedal or vehicle vibration during normal brake
application), brake pull or a parking brake problem, then these problems must be corrected before attempting to
rectify any suspected ABS problem. Refer to Section 5A SERVICE AND PARK BRAKING SYSTEMS in the MY
2003 VY and V2 Series Service information for diagnosis and repair of the conventional braking system.
4.2 BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Before attem pting to diagnose the Anti-lock Brake System or Electronic Traction Control system , you m ust have a
good understanding of electrical system basics and the use of circuit testing tools. W ithout this basic knowledge it

WHEN ALL DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, CLEAR ALL DTCs AND VERIFY CORRECT OPERATION
4.5 INTERMITTENT FAILURES
As with most electronic systems, intermittent failures may be difficult to accurately diagnose. The following is a
method to try to isolate an i ntermittent fail ur e, es pecia ll y whee l spee d circui try failures .
If the control module detects an ABS fault, the ABS warning display will activate during the ignition cycle in which
the fault was detected and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be logged in memory of the control module.
If an TCS f ault occurs, either the TRAC OFF and /or ABS warni ng displa y will activate, if the fault is spec ific to the
TCS system, both the TRAC OFF and the ABS warning displays will activate, if the fault is common to both
systems.
If an interm ittent problem occurs, the TRAC O FF and/or ABS warni ng display will go out (if the fault cor rects itself )
after the ignition has been cycled off and on. Also stored in the control module mem ory, will be the histor y data of
the DTC at the time the fault occurred. This history data includes the number of Ignition Cycles since the DTC
occurred, if the Ignition Cycle is zero, then the DTC is Current, if the Ignition C ycles is greater than zero, then the
DTC is a history DTC. Tech 2 can be used to read ABS or ABS/TCS data;
1. If a s ystem fault has bee n detecte d, rec ord a ll cur rent tr ouble co des a nd tr ouble c ode his tor y infor m ation. Als o,
if available, record any specific driving condition during which the problem or failure occurs. This information
can help in duplic a tin g th e condition.
2. Clear any trouble codes that are stored in the control module memory, refer 'CLEARING DTCs' in this Section.
3. Using the Tech 2 in Snapshot mode while test-driving the vehicle, try to duplicate the condition in which the
problem or fault occurs. Refer to 4.7 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS in this Section for additional information on the
use of Tech 2.
NOTE: IN CERT AIN DIAGNOSTIC MODES, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS DISABLED WHILE T ECH
2 IS COMMUNICATING WITH THE ABS OR ABS/TCS CONTROL MODULE.
If an intermittent condition is still undetected, or not related to the wheel speed circuitry, go to the appropriate
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) or symptom chart in this Section. Follow through the Chart while moving or
wiggling the associated ABS or ABS/TCS wiring harnesses and connectors, and at the same time looking for
intermittent type failures in the circuitry.
Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. When an intermittent failure is
encountered, check suspect circuits for:
1. Poor mating of connector body halves or terminals not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
2. Improperly formed or damaged terminals. If damaged, carefully reform terminals in a suspected circuit.
3. Poor terminal to wire connection . This requires rem oving the term inal from the connector bo dy to inspect (ref er
to Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS in the MY 2003 VY and V2 Series Service Information).
Also, du e to the sensitivity of ABS or ABS/TCS components to Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), the follo wing
checks should be performed if an intermittent malfunction is suspected:
1. Check for proper installation of wiring harnesses resulting from add-on options such as a CB radio or cellular
telephone etc .
2. Visually inspect wheel speed sensors and pulse rings for looseness, damage, foreign material accumulation
and proper mounting. Replace damaged components, remove any foreign material and/or properly attach all
components.
3. Check for proper routing of front wheel speed sensor wiring near spark plug leads. Refer to IGNITION
SYST EM, in 6C1-3 (V6), 6C2-3 or 6C3-3 (GEN III V8) for spark plug lead routing.
4. Measure resistance of spark plug leads (refer to IGNITION SYSTEM, in 6C1-3 (V6), 6C2-3 or
6C3-3 (GEN III V8) for details) Replace any leads if not to specification.
5. While test driving vehicle, monitor wheel speeds using Tech 2. If any wheel speed drops or displays erratic
speed, refer to the appropriate wheel speed DTC chart in this Section.
If detected, ABS failures will disable the anti-lock brake function of an entire ignition cycle, even if the condition
clears itself before the ignition is switched off. However, the clearing of low voltage failure conditions during an
ignition cycle will allow ABS operation to resume.
If an TCS failure is detected, both the anti-lock braking and traction control functions will be disabled for an entire
ignition cycle, even if the condition clears itself before the ignition is switched off. However, the clearing of low
voltage failure conditions during an ignition cycle will allow ABS and TCS operation to resume.
4.6 ABS & ABS/TCS SELF DIAGNOSTICS
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The ABS and ABS/TCS control modules are equipped with a self diagnostic capability that can detect and isolate
ABS and ABS/TCS problems or failures. When a problem or failure is detected, the ABS or ABS/TCS control
module sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that represents that particular problem or failure. There are twenty
one DTCs on ABS an d twe nty nin e on A BS/T CS s ystem s that m ay be set b y the ABS or ABS/T CS contr ol m odule.
Depending on the DTC set, either the ABS, TCS or both ABS and TCS systems will be disabled. If the ABS is
disabled, it will allow for conventional non ABS braking only and the ABS warning display will be activated.
NOTE: Warning display will activate whilst fault is active. If a fault has occurred and is not active, the display will
not be activated and a fault code will be stored.
The control module performs an automatic test once during each ignition cycle when the vehicle reaches
approximately 6 km/h. The automatic test cycles each solenoid valve and the pump motor to check component
operation. If any error is detected during this test, the ABS or ABS/TCS control module will set a DTC. This test
may be heard and felt while it is taking place and is a normal mode of operation.
The ABS or ABS/TCS control module can display
the DTCs via the ABS warning display only when
the 'Diagnostic Service Mode' has been entered.
Entering the diagnostic service mode is
accomplished by either grounding terminal 12 of
the Data Link Connector (DLC) using a test lead
fitted with suitable terminals and using
ABS warning display to flash system DTCs as
described under Flash Code Diagnostics Display
in this Section or by using Tech 2 (refer to
4.7 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS in this Section).
Figure 5B-87
FLASH CODE DIAGNOSTICS DISPLAY
To enable th e ABS warnin g display to f lash system
DTCs, the vehicle must be stopped (vehicle speed
is less than 10 km/h), terminal ‘12’ of the DLC (1)
grounded (DLC terminal ‘5’) using a test lead (2)
fitted with suitable terminals and then the ignition
turned on. The flash code diagnostics will remain
enable d as long as term inal ‘12’ is grou nded, serial
data line communication has not been initiated or
until any wheel speed is greater than 10 km/h.
Approximately 3 seconds after grounding terminal
‘12’ of the DLC, the ABS or ABS/TCS control
module will begin flashing the ABS warning display.
The flash sequence will begin with DTC 12 to
signal the b eginning of the flash code displa y. DTC
12 will f lash t hree tim es . Eac h stored code will then
be displa yed thr ee tim es . After all codes h ave be en
displayed, the sequence will repeat, starting with
DTC 12.
The c harts on the next pag e set out all th e possi ble
diagnostic trouble codes.
NOTE: Flash code diagnosis is not fully supported
on certain trouble codes involving the solenoid
valves or motor due to the valve relay inside the
control unit being disabled. Trouble codes 41, 42,
45, 46, 47, 48, 55, 56, 61 and 63 will prevent the
ABS warning display from turning off. These faults
can only be read through the DLC using Tech 2.

CLEARING DTCs
Any DTCs stored in the ABS or ABS/TCS control
module's memory can be erased in one of three
ways:
1. Diagnostic Request Line Procedure.
2. Tech 2 Clear Codes Selection.
3. Ignition Cycle Default.
These three methods are detailed as follows.
IMPORTANT: Whichever method is used, be
sure to verify proper system operation and
absence of any DTCs when clearing procedure
is completed. The ABS or ABS/TCS control
module will not permit DTC clearing until all of
the codes have been displayed. Also, DTCs
cannot be cleared by unplugging the ABS or
ABS/TCS control module, disconnecting the
battery cables, or turning the ignition OFF
(except on an ignition cycle default).
Diagnostic Request Line Procedure
To clear trouble codes via the DLC (1) diagnostic
request line, terminal 12 (12), go through the
follo wing proc ed ur e.
1. Turn ignition OFF.
2. Connect a test lead (2) fitted with suitable
terminals between DLC terminal 5, circuit 155,
black/yellow wire (5) and terminal 12, circuit
863, blue/black wire (12).
3. Turn ignition on (this will enable Flash Code
Diagnostics Display) and allow all codes to be
displayed.
4. Disconnect one end of test lead from DLC for
approximately one second then reconnect for
no less than one second. Repeat this step at
least two more times within 10 seconds,
leaving test lead connected to DLC upon
completion of final connection.
Observe flashing ABS warning display. Only DTC
12 should b e f las hed . If not , tr oub le cod es hav e no t
been properly cleared. Begin clearing code
procedure again at Step 1. If DTCs are cleared,
wait at least 15 seconds before turning ignition
'OFF'.
Figure 5B-90
Figure 5B-91
TECH 2 Clear Codes Procedure
Before clearing DTCs, check and note any history code data, as this information will also be cleared.
Select the appropriate menu, and select the Clear Codes function. Verify that DTCs have been cleared by using the
Tec h 2 to read ABS or ABS/T CS tr ouble cod es. If any are pres ent, e ither the DT Cs were not clear ed, or an ABS or
ABS/TCS fault still exists.
Ignition Cycle Default
If the ig nition is c ycled 100- tim es without a pa rticular f ault reap pearing, that fault code wil l be erased f rom the A BS
or ABS/TCS control module memory, and the ignition cycle counter inside the control module will be reset to zero.
4.7 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS
IMPORTANT: When using the Tech 2 in certain diagnostic modes for ABS or ABS/TCS diagnosis, the Anti-lock
Brak e System is disable d by the A BS or AB S/TCS co ntrol m odule while it is c omm unicating with Tech 2. T he ABS
warning display in the instrument cluster will be activated, indicating only conventional (non ABS) braking is
possible.
NOTE: Within this Section, the Anti Lock Braking System/Traction Control System (ABS/TCS) is shown on the
Tech 2 screen, as “ABS/ETC” (Anti Lock Braking System/Electronic Traction Control). These systems are to be
regarded as being one and the same for the purposes of diagnosis.
W hen connected to t he Dat a Link Connector (DLC)
with the ap pr opri ate s of twa re, c abl es and ada ptor s ,
Tech 2 is capable of reading ABS or ABS/ETC
serial data. The DLC is connected to the
instrument panel lower right hand trim, to the right
of the steering column.
For additional general information on connecting
and operat ing T ech 2, refer to Section 0C T ECH 2

Control system. The five test modes are as follows:
MODE F0: NORMAL MODE
In this mode, the Tech 2 monitors the constant
communication between control modules on the
serial data line. The information displayed on the
Tech 2 screen in this mode is what the ABS or
ABS/ETC control module is communicating to the
other modules via the serial data line.
MODE F1: DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
In this mode, Tech 2 will display a DTC selection
list. When the appropriate function key is selected,
the Tech 2 will display a DTC Data List. The Data
List contains relevant information relating to the
DTC.
MODE F2: DATA DISPLAY
In this test mode, the operator of Tech 2 has the
option of selecting an Active or Disabled data
stream that they can use to constantly monitor the
status of inputs and outputs of the ABS or
ABS/ETC system.

ABS/ETC data before and after a forced manual
trigger.
MODE F4: MISCELLANEOUS TESTS
In this test mode, the Tech 2 performs system
functiona l tests to as s is t in pr oblem is olat ion du rin g
troubleshooting. Each test mode has specific
diagnosis capabilities that depend upon various
function key entry on the Tech 2. Also, included in
the MISCELLANEOUS TESTS is a procedure for
ABS or ABS/ETC brake bleeding.
4.8 TECH 2 TEST MODES AND SCREEN DISPLAYS FOR ABS & TCS DIAGNOSIS
CAUTION: When using Tech 2 for ABS and
ABS/TCS diagnosis, in certain diagnostic
modes, the system will be disabled.
NOTE: Where Tech 2 is concerned, the
terminology quoted, reflects Tech 2 language; e.g.
ABS/TCS will be displayed on the Tech 2 screen,
as ‘ABS/ETC’. Therefore the diagnostic tables will
also reflect this usage.
As a prerequisite to this diagnostic section, the
user must be familiar with the proper use of Tech
2, as the following pages illustrate only the major
Tech 2 screen displays and provide a brief
explanation of their function for diagnosing the
ABS or A BS/TC S system s . If additio nal inf orm ation
is required on the operation of Tech 2, refer to
Section 0C T ECH 2 or the TECH 2 OPERAT OR’S
MANUAL.

F3: Snapshot
F4: Miscella neous Tests
Figure 5B-98
F0: Normal Mode
In the ‘F0: Norm al Mode’, information that the ABS
or ABS/ETC control module is communicating to
other control modules, is displayed via the serial
data line.
For example; as shown, the ETC Warning display
status is On. This means the ABS or ABS/ETC
control module is communicating with the
instruments requesting the ‘TRAC OFF’ warning
displa y to be activate d.
Figure 5B-99
F1: Diagnostic Trouble Codes
If the F0: Read DT Cs is selec ted from this mode, a
listing of all (if any) DTCs numbers that have been
set by the ABS or ABS/ETC control m odule will be
displayed. To obtain further information about a
particu lar DTC, pres s the rele vant f unction k ey and
a DTC data list will be displayed. From the
information provided in this data list, you can
determine when the DTC occurred and the
operating conditions of the system at the time.
For a listing of all DTCs, refer to
4.6 ABS & ABS/TCS SEL F DIAGNOST ICS in this
Section.
DTCs c an be cleared by sim ply selec ting ‘F1 Clear
DTCs’ and pressing the Enter key on the Tech 2
keyboard.
NOTE: If any DTCs are set, reference should be
made to the relevant diagnostic charts in this
section.
Figure 5B-100
F2: Data Display
If the F2: DATA DISPLAY mode is selected, an
additional application menu will appear giving the
operator the option of selecting ABS or ABS/ETC
data while the system is either active or disabled.
F0: Active ABS/ETC
F1: ABS/ETC Disabled
If the disabled data list is selected, the ABS
warning display will be activated and the system
will become disabled.
While the two data lists offer similar information,
the active data list has the advantage of monitoring
the ABS or ABS/TCS systems while either system
is operational, assisting in the diagnosis of
intermittent faults.
When monitoring speed data, the Tech 2 screen
displays the signals being sent from the wheel
speed sensors to the control module. In F0: Active
ABS/TCS display mode, the vehicle can be driven
while the Tech 2 dis p lays whee l speed dat a. At th is
time, the readings may be compared with vehicle
speed to check proper operation. Wheel speed
signals can also be compared with each other to
determine whether they are within specification.
If one wheel speed signal differs greatly from the
other signals, improper operation of that particular
sensor may be indicated. Intermittent wheel speed
signals can be detected in this mode by looking f or
signals that vary for no apparent reason.
Figure 5B-101
This variation can occur during vehicle operation
and can be captured during F3: SNAPSHOT test
mode.
For additional information regarding the soft keys
while in the DATA DISPLAY mode, refer to
Section 0C TECH 2 in the MY 2003 VY and V2

F4: MISCELLANEOUS TESTS
In the Miscellaneous tests mode, functional tests
are avai lable on t he ABS or ABS/ET C s ystems that
will help identify proper operation. In this mode,
error conditions can be further identified by testing
and observing the test results.
Additionally, in this mode, the hydraulic modulator
can be bled (F2: BRAK E B LE ED).
In the MISCELLANEOUS TESTS mode the
following tests can be performed:
F0: Solenoid
This test indica tes whether specif ic soleno id va lves
in the hydraulic modulator release pressure to
assigned hydraulic wheel circuits and hold
pressur e in assign ed h ydr a ulic wheel circu its .
NOTE: Use this procedure in conjunction with the
information displayed on the Tech 2 screen in the
F0: SOLENOID test mode.
The PRESSURE RELEASE part of the test
activates a selected hydraulic wheel circuit valve,
placing it in the pressure release position. Valve
action can then be verified by checking the
appropriate wheel for proper brake action.
Figure 5B-103
The PRE SSURE HOLD part of the test ac tivates a select ed hydrau lic whee l circuit valve, p lacing it in the pr essur e
hold position. Valve action can then be verified by checking the appropriate wheel for proper brake action.
These tests completely check each solenoid valve. W ith an assistant, the pressure release and hold tests can be
verified as follows:
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Raise vehicle such that the wheels are at least 150 mm off the floor.
3. Install Tech 2 to the DLC.
4. Select Diagnostics / Chassis / ABS/ETC and turn ignition on and confirm System Identification information as

tested when requested by Tech 2.
NOTE: This test verifies the ability of the solenoid valves to control the hydraulic functioning of the system. The
electrical function is verified by the constant monitoring of the circuits by the ABS/ETC control module during
normal operation of the system. If the control module detects an electrical problem, such as a solenoid open or
short to ground, a DTC will be set and the system disabled.
F1: Auto Test
The AUT O test is performed automatically by the control module once during each ignition cycle when the vehicle
reaches approxim ately 6 km/h. The Tech 2 will perform this test automatically during the ABS TESTS mode. The
AUTO test cycles each solenoid valve and the pump motor briefly to check component operation. If any error is
detected dur ing this tes t, the control m odule will set a DT C and the ABS and or TRAC OF F warning dis play will b e
activated. Perform the test as follows:
NOTE 1: Use th is proce dure i n conjunc tion with the inf orm ation displa yed on t he Tec h 2 SCREEN while in the F1:

4.9 DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS – V6 ENGINES
INTRODUCTION
The following diagnostic charts are designed to provide fast and efficient fault location of the ABS or ABS/TCS
systems. Each diagnostic chart consists of: a ‘diagnostic chart’, connector body terminal assignments for
connectors relevant t o that par ticular d iagnostic c hart, and pertinent inform ation inc luding Dia gnostic T rouble Code
(DTC) setting parameters and circuit diagrams.
The following figures illustrate the term inal layout of the various connectors used in the system. This figure should
be used in conjunction with the diagnostic chart circuit diagrams when checking circuit faults if the connector
diagram is not included in the chart.
When carrying out wiring checks as directed to by the diagnostic charts, rather than probe terminals and
connectors with incorrect sized multimeter connections, use the adaptors contained in connector test adaptor kit
KM-609. T his will pre ven t an y possib ilit y of spread ing or dam aging wir ing har ness terminals.
On-Vehicle Service
When a diagnostic chart in this Section makes reference to removing/reinstalling or checking a component for
proper mounting or operation, refer to the appropriate service operation in this Section. After all diagnosis and
repairs ar e c ompleted, ro ad - tes t the ve hic l e to e ns ure pr oper A BS a nd AB S/TCS oper at io n and t he A BS a nd TRAC
OFF warning d ispla ys do not com e on, refer to 4.4 FUNCTIONAL CHECK in this Sectio n. If the Tech 2 was used
for diag nos is , disc onn ec t it f r om the DLC and turn the i gnit io n O FF f or at leas t 10 s ec onds bef or e road testi n g. This
is necessary to reset the ABS or ABS/TCS control module as it is disabled during most Tech 2 diagnostic
procedures, and does not reset until serial data communication is stopped and ignition power is lost.

DTC 28 - WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FREQUENCY ERROR
Figure 5B-129
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The toothed pulse ring generates a voltage pulse as it moves past the wheel speed sensor. Each tooth – gap –
tooth on the pulse ring generates these pulses.
The frequency of these pulses is used by the ABS or ABS/TCS control module to determine wheel speed. The ABS
or ABS/TCS control module will calculate the wheel speed by the number of teeth on the pulse ring.
DTC 28 will set if an incorrect number of teeth or damaged teeth are present on a pulse ring. If the ABS or
ABS/TCS control module could define the specific wheel speed sensor causing the malfunction, the DTC
associated with the sensor (21, 25, 31 or 35) will be set instead of DTC 28.
If a failure is detected which causes DTC 28 to set, the ABS or ABS/TCS system is disabled and the control
module activates the ABS or ABS and TRAC OFF warning displays for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If the
failure is intermittent, t he control m odule will enable the s ystem at the next igniti on cycle and a hist ory DTC 28 will
be set.
NOTE: If DTC 28 s ets, the ABS or A BS/TCS contr ol modu le does not or c annot deter mine which s ensor ass em bly
is at fault. All the wheel speed sensors will need to be checked to determine which is setting the DTC.

DTC 63 - VALVE SOLENOID RELAY CIRCUIT FAULT
Figure 5B-145
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
When the ABS or ABS/TCS is active (ignition on), the valve relay provides voltage to actuate the six (ABS) or 10
(ABS/TCS) solenoid valves. However, the solenoid valves do not use this voltage unless the ABS or ABS/TCS
control module provides the ground for each solenoid.
DTC 63 will set if the va lve rela y voltage is low or if the r elay sup ply line is at 12 volts when the ABS or ABS/T CS
control module is not requesting it to be; this would make the relay constantly energised.
Also, DTC 63 will set if the ABS or ABS/TCS control m odule detects if three or m ore of the solenoid va lve circuits
between the valve relay terminal 30 and the control module are open circuited or shorted during the self test.
If a failure is detected which causes DTC 63 to set, the ABS or ABS/TCS system is disabled and the control
module activates the ABS or ABS and TRAC OFF warning display/s for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If the
failure is intermittent, t he control m odule will enable the s ystem at the next igniti on cycle and a hist ory DTC 63 will
be set.

DTC 73 – REQUESTED TORQUE CIRCUIT FAULT
Figure 5B-153
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
W ith the ignition o n, the ABS/T CS c ontrol m odule c ons tantl y sends a Puls e W idth Modulat ed ( PW M) signal at 93%
with a f requenc y of 100 H z to the PCM via ter m inal X1 -13, on circ uit 4 63 (Orang e/White wire). This is to indic ate to
the PCM th at the trac tion control system ( TCS) is in a state of readiness. If the ABS/T CS contro l module re quests
traction control, engine intervention, it signals the PCM to reduce engine torque by varying the duty cycle of this
P WM signal.
DTC 73 will set if this frequency output signal deviates outside a frequency specification (95 – 105 Hz) or if the
signal stops for more than 50 milliseconds.
If the ABS/TCS control module senses this fault, the TCS system will be disabled (ABS operation will operate
norm ally), the T RAC OFF war ning lam p will b e acti vated and DT C 73 will be s et. T he TRAC O FF warning la m p will
remain activated for the rem ainder of the ignition cycle. If the failure is intermittent, the control m odule will enable
the system at the next ignition cycle and the logged DTC will become history.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
The numbers below refer to Step numbers in the diagnostic chart for DTC 73.
1. Checks if ABS/TCS control module is sending signal to PCM.
2. Checks circuit 463.
3. Checks if PCM is returning message to ABS/TCS control module.

DTC 74 - ACTUAL TORQUE CIRCUIT FAULT
Figure 5B-155
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
On receiving the request torque signal, the PCM will modify the output of the engine and then send an actual
torque s ignal to th e ABS/TCS c ontrol m odule, v ia circuit 4 64, which is a Pu lse Width Mo dulated ( PWM) signal with
a frequency of 100 Hz. The duty cycle of the torque acknowledgment signal will vary depending on the torque
reduction achieved, ie. The actual torque of the engine.
Provided the engine speed is above 480 RPM, DTC 74 will set if this frequency deviates outside the frequency
specification (95 – 105 Hz) or if the signal stops for more than 100 milliseconds.
If the ABS/TCS control module senses this fault, the TCS system will be disabled (ABS operation will operate
norm ally), the T RAC OFF war ning lam p will b e acti vated and DT C 74 will be s et. T he TRAC O FF warning la m p will
remain activated for the rem ainder of the ignition cycle. If the failure is intermittent, the control m odule will enable
the system at the next ignition cycle and the relevant history DTC will be set.

CAUTION: Certain components in the Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Traction Control system are
not intended to be serviced individually. Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system components,
such as the solenoid valves or pump motor from the hydraulic modulator, may result in personal injury
and/or improper system operation. Only those components with approved removal and reinstallation
procedures described in 3. SERVICE OPERATIONS in this Section, should be serviced.
Before attempting any diagnostic work on the ABS, refer to and read the 'SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES' as described in 3. SERVIC E OPERATIO NS, in this Section.
5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Diagnostic information in this Section relates only to ABS/TCS systems on vehicles with GEN III V8 engines.
Addition all y, only diag nosti c inf orm ation that dif fer s from the AB S/T CS s ystem used on M Y 2003 VY and V2 Ser ies
models with V6 engines is detailed. For diagnostic information that is not detailed in this Section, refer to
4. ABS, ABS/T CS DIAGNOSIS in this Sec ti on.
The following information is necessary when diagnosing any Anti-lock Braking System problem or failure,
specifically it should be used to diagnose conditions that may cause the illumination of the ABS or TRAC OFF
warning displays in the Instrument.
Should conditions exist with the conventional (non ABS) portion of the braking system which cause the BRAKE
FAILURE warning lamp to illuminate (also in the Instrument), or there is some other obvious brake mechanical
problem, such as brake noise, brake pulsation (pedal or vehicle vibration during normal brake application), brake
pull or a park ing brak e problem , then these problem s m ust be corrected bef ore attem pting to rectif y any suspected
ABS/TCS problem. Refer to Section 5A SERVICE AND PARK BRAKING SYSTEMS for diagnosis and repair of
the conventional braking system.
5.2 BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Refer to 4.2 BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED, in this Section.
5.3 VISUAL INSPECTION
W hen inves tig ati ng any complaint of an ABS/TCS system pr oblem or m a lf unction, star t di agn os is with an ABS/TCS
visual ins pec t ion .
The ABS/T CS visua l inspe ction is an exam ination of easil y acc essible c omponent s that could caus e problem s with
the system. The visual inspection procedure may quickly identify the cause and eliminate the need for additional
diagnosis.
If the complaint condition cannot be resolved by a visual check of the system components, then proceed to the

5.9 DIAG NOS TIC CHARTS
INTRODUCTION
The f ollowing diag nostic c har ts are d esig ned to provi de f ast and eff icient fau lt loc atio n of th e AB S/T CS s ystem s f or
vehicles with GEN III V8 engines. Each diagnostic chart consists of: a ‘diagnostic chart’, connector body terminal
assignments for connectors relevant to that particular diagnostic chart, and pertinent information including
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) setting parameters and circuit diagrams.
NOTE 1: For diagnostic charts not published in this Section, refer to 4.9 DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS – V6 ENGINES.
NOTE 2: Always refer to Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS when stated in the diagnostic charts in this Section.
The follo wing figures illus trate the terminal l ayout of the various connectors used in the GEN III V8 engin e system .
These figures should be used in conjunction with the diagnostic chart circuit diagrams, when checking circuit faults.
When carrying out wiring checks as directed b y the diagnostic charts, rather than probe t erminals and con nectors
with incorr ect sized m ultimeter connect ions, use the adapt ors contained in c onnector test adapt or kit, suc h as KM-
609. This will prevent any possibility of spreading or damaging wiring harness terminals.
Diagnostic Ai d
It is ver y important that before an y c omponent be replaced, when recomm ended in a diagnostic procedure, that a
thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Terminals should be checked for corrosion and
correct sizing. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing
unnecessary part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
On-Veh ic le Ser vic e
When a diagnostic chart in this Section makes reference to removing/reinstalling or checking a component for
proper mounting or operation, refer to the appropriate service operation in 3. SERVICE OPERATIONS in this
Section.
After all diagnosis and repairs are completed, road-test the vehicle to ensure proper ABS/TCS operation and the
ABS and T RAC O FF warn ing disp la ys are not ac tivate d, refe r to 5.4 FUNCTION AL CHECK in this Section. If Tech
2 was used for diagnosis, d isconnect it f rom the DLC and turn the ignition OFF for at least 10 sec onds before road
testing. This is necessary to reset the ABS/TCS control module as it is disabled during most Tech 2 diagnostic
procedures, and does not reset until serial data communication is stopped and ignition power is lost.

DTC 58 – THROTTLE RELAXER PWM INTERFACE FAULT
Figure 5B-161
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
W ith the ignition o n, the ABS/T CS c ontrol m odule c ons tantl y sends a Puls e W idth Modulat ed ( PW M) signal at 90%
with a frequency of 100 Hz to the throttle relaxer control module on the requested throttle position line (DKR), via
term inal X1-13, circui t 463 (Or ange/W hite wire). T his signal is to indicat e to the throttle r elaxer contro l module t hat
the traction control system (TCS) is in a state of readiness. If the ABS/TCS control module requests traction
control, throttle reduction, it signals to the throttle relaxer control module to reduce the throttle opening b y varying
the duty cycle of this PWM signal.
DTC 58 will set if this frequency output signal deviates outside a frequency specification (95 – 105 Hz) or if the
signal stops for more than 50 milliseconds. The throttle relaxer control module A111 monitors this line and, if the
above cond it ions ar e d etec t ed, the t hr ott le rel ax er c ontr ol module sends a PWM signal of 93% on the actu al throttl e
position line (D KI), circuit 464 (Black/White wire) back to the ABS/TCS control module A37. The ABS/TCS control
module interprets this signal (or if no PWM signal is returned) as a DKR of throttle relaxer control module fault.
If the ABS/TCS control module senses this fault, the TCS system will be disabled (ABS operation will operate
norm all y), the T RAC O FF warni ng dis p lay will be ac tivated and DTC 58 will be s et. T he TRAC O FF warning dis play
will remain activated for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If the failure is intermittent, the control module will
enable the system at the next ignition cycle and the relevant history DTC will be set.

DTC 66 – THROTTLE RELAXER CONTROL FAULT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
DTC 66 is a throttle position control failure that is most likely due to a mechanical fault caused by a jammed or
binding throttle relaxer motor, throttle cable. DTC 66 can only be detected when the ABS/TCS control module is
modulating (or attempting to modulate) the throttle position.
If the throttle relaxer con trol module is unable to adjust the throttle p osition, as requested by the ABS/TCS control
module, via the requested throttle position line (DKR), the throttle relaxer control module will try to reduce the
throttle o pening b y inc reasing th e current sup plied to the thro ttle relaxer . This curr ent will rise to a maxim um value
and if it sta ys there f or m ore th an thr ee seco nds, a m essage is se nt to th e AB S/TCS c ontr ol m odule a nd a D TC 66
is set.
If the ABS/T CS contro l module sens es this f ault, only the T CS system will be dis abled (ABS will operate n orm ally),
the TRAC O FF warn ing displa y will b e activated and t he relevant DTC will be set. T he TRAC O FF warnin g displa y
will remain activated for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If the failure is intermittent, the control module will
enable the system at the next ignition cycle and the relevant history DTC will be set.
ACTION:
If DTC 66 sets, visually and physically check the following components:
Check accelerator pedal, throttle and (if fitted) cruise control cables for binding or fouling.
Remove the accelerator pedal, throttle and (if fitted) cruise control cables from the throttle relaxer. Check
operation of the throttle relaxer pulleys to ensure they rotate freely without binding or sticking.
Repair or replace components as necessary. Ensure all cables are routed correctly. Clear all DTCs and verify
correct operation.
NOTE 1: The throttle relaxer is a non serviceable component. If the throttle relaxer pulleys are found to be faulty,
replace the thrott le r elax er as s em bly.
NOTE 2: To remove, reinstall and adjust the cables and throttle relaxer assembly, refer to
Section 6C3-3 SERVICE O PERATIONS – GEN III V8.
DTC 68 – THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MONITORING FAULT
Figure 5B-169
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The ABS/T CS contro l module m onitors the throt tle po sition, when set by the thro ttle relax er control m odule, vi a the
actual throttle position (DKI) input, circuit 464 (Black/White wire). At the same time, the ABS/TCS control module
monitor s the throttle pos ition, as r ead by the Throttl e Position Se nsor (T PS), and comm unicated on the s erial data
line (circuit 1061, Green/White wire) by the PCM/PIM, via the Body Control Module and the UART Primary serial
data (circuit 800). If the values from the two inputs do not correlate with each other, the ABS/TCS control module

DTC 72 - SERIAL DATA FAULT
Figure 5B-171
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
W ith the ignition ON, the ABS/T CS control module will be ab le to comm unicate with other control m odules via the
UART, Secondary (UART_SCD) serial data lines, on circuit 1061 (Green/White wire). If communication between
the modules is disrupted due to a short or open circuit, DTC 72 will be set.
If the ABS/T CS control m odule senses this f ault, only the TC S system will be disabled (ABS op eration will o perate
normally), the TRAC OFF warning display will be activated and the relevant DTC will be set. The TRAC OFF
warning disp lay will remain activated for the remainder of the ignition cycle. If the failure is intermittent, the control
module will enable the system at the next ignition cycle and the relevant history DTC will be set.
There are a number of control modules that are connected to this serial data circuit (BCM, ABS/TCS, A/C Blower
Motor, Telematics and the Instrument). Any of these c ontrol modules could caus e a fault in the UART_SCD serial
data line. This fault could result in Tech 2 not being able to display serial data.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
The numbers below refer to Step numbers in the diagnostic chart for DTC 72.
1. This test determines if fault is current or not.
2. This test checks for connector or wiring problems which may cause an intermittent fault.
3. Determines if fault is in wiring or ABS/TCS control module.
4. Determines if fault is with BCM serial data communication (bus master).
5. Checks if fault is caused by other control modules that are communicating on the serial data line.
6. Checks circuit 1061 and determines if fault is in wiring or control module.
7. Checks for continuity in circuit 1061.
NOTES ON DIAGNOSTIC CHART:
1. For all wiring checking procedures, refer to Section 12P WIRING DIAGRAMS.
2. Refer to 4.7 TECH 2 DIAGNOSTICS in this Section for connecting and using Tech 2.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
A fault with the s erial da ta circ uit could b e caused by one or m ore of the s everal control m odules c onnected to the
serial data c ircuit. Is olate the f ault by disconn ecting ea ch controll er one at a tim e until seria l data com munication is
restored.
