Subject:ABS Front Wheel Speed Codes - Jumper Harness

Models:.



When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Condition/Concern:

91 - 05 JB, NB, or LB vehicles may set any one or a combination of front wheel speed sensor ABS codes as intermittent or hard failures.

Recommendation/Instructions:

If after inspection and diagnosis, using the applicable trouble tree(s), the cause of the fault is not readily identified, the most probable cause is often the wheel speed sensor jumper harness. Oftentimes, the harness checks good with the J 39200 fluke meter but will not function correctly when subjected to suspension movement, vibration, and flexing. Seldom will the above condition be corrected by the replacement of the EBCM. The listed part numbers are leads that incorporate a highly flexible "angel hair" that reduces down to standard gauge wire so that it may be properly spliced into the existing circuit. Standard gauge wire should not be used in place of these part numbers.
