Checking fuse number 12 (50 A) in the engine compartment
- Ignition off.
Check that fuse no. 12 (50 A) in the engine compartment is intact.
Is the fuse OK?
Yes - Checking the voltage
No - Checking for a short-circuit
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the voltage
- Ignition off.
Connect a voltmeter between ground (0 Volts) and the rear socket on the fuse holder (windshield side) for fuse no. 12 (50 A) in the integrated relay / fuse box in the engine compartment.
The voltmeter should read approximately battery voltage.
OK - Checking the 30-supply to the control module
Connecting the breakout box
Not OK - Checking for an open-circuit
-------------------------------------------------
Checking for a short-circuit
Check the cable between fuse no. 12 (50 A) and control module connector terminal # 18. Check for a short-circuit to ground, Section 5 (50-59), Brakes, 1996-.
Replace fuse 12 (50 A).
