TROUBLESHOOTING (ABS/TCS/DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL)

• When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while

doing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunction. If
there is a problem, check to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harnesses are connected correctly
and undamaged.
