The ABS diagnostic connector is an OBD-I style connector with 3 pins. With the car off, locate and pull the connector out from its mount so you have access to it. It can be found under the hood next to the driver's shock tower and underhood fuse box. The pinout is:
---1--2---
3--4--5--6
Pin 2 is ground (black), and pins 4 and 5 are the only other wires on the connector (green and white). Connect pins 4 and 5 to each other and leave the ground alone. Turn the key on, and watch the ABS light blink to get the code number. The possible codes are below:
11 Electronic Controller (EBCM)
12 Electronic Controller (EBCM)
17 Reference Voltage (Traction Assist code - Mark VIII only)
18 Isolation Valve #1 (Traction Assist code - Mark VIII only)
