 1. Check the ABS F/S (20 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and reinstall the fuse if it is OK.
    Is the fuse OK?
    YES - Go to step 2.
    NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.
 2. Turn the ignition switch ON (11).
    Does the fuse blow?
    YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the ABS fail-safe relay, TCS relay, pump motor relay, and
modulator unit.
    NO - Go to step 3.
 3. Check the ABS fail-safe relay in the ABS relay box. The wire colors of the ABS fail-safe relay connector are
WHT/GRN, BRN/BLK, BLK, and YEL/GRN.
    Is the relay OK?
    YES - Leave the ABS fail-safe relay removed, and go to step 4.
    NO - Replace the ABS fail-safe relay.

 4. Measure the voltage between the ABS fail-safe relay connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
    Is there battery voltage?
    YES - Go to step 5.
    NO - Repair open in the wire between the underhood fuse/relay box and the ABS fail-safe relay.

ABS relay box.
    NO - Go to step 10.
10. Disconnect ABS/TCS control unit connector A (26P).
11. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

12. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 25 and body ground.

13. Check for continuity between ABS/TCS control unit connector A (26P) terminal No. 25 and body ground.
    Is there continuity?
    YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the ABS/TCS control unit and the ABS fail-safe relay.
    NO - Go to step 14.

14. Check for continuity between ABS fail-safe relay connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.
    Is there continuity?
    YES - Go to step 15.
    NO - Check for an open in the wire between the ABS fail-safe relay and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for
poor ground at G201.
