By comparing system conditions against standard operating limits, certain circuit and component faults can be detected. A four-digit numerical diagnostic trouble code is stored in computer memory when a problem is detected by this self-diagnostic system. The diagnostic trouble codes can later be accessed with a bi-directional scan tool.
The ABS diagnostic trouble codes which may be...
