ALB Checker

Function Test

NOTE:
• The ALB checker is designed to confirm proper operation of the anti-lock brake system by simulating each system function and operating condition. Before using the checker, confirm that the anti-lock brake system indicator light is not indicating some other problem with the system. The light should go on when the ignition is first turned on and then go off and stay off one second after the engine is started.
• The checker should be used through modes 1 -5 to confirm proper operation of the system in any one of the following situations:
- After replacing any anti-lock brake system component.
- After replacing or bleeding the system fluid (0 mode not necessary).
- After any body or suspension repair that may have affected the sensors or their wiring.
•   The procedure for modes 1 -5 are on this page and 19-56, mode 0 (wheel sensor signal) is on page 19-57.
•   Use one of the following models of ALB checkers: 07HAJ-S00010A (US) or
07HAJ-S00010B
07HAJ-S000200 (CANADA)
AWARNINIG Disconnect the ALB checker before driving the car. A collision can result from a reduction, or complete loss, of braking ability causing severe personal injury or death.

1. With the ignition switch off, disconnect the 6-P inspection connector from the connector cover located on the cross-member under the passenger's seat and connect the 6-P inspection connector to the ALB checker.
NOTE: Place the vehicle on level ground with the wheels blocked, put the transmission in neutral for manual transmission models, and in P for automatic transmission models.

2. Start the engine and release the parking brake.

3. Operate the ALB checker as follows:
(1) Turn the Mode Selector switch to "1 ". (2) Push the Start Test switch:
- The test in progress light should come ON.
- In one or two more seconds, all four monitor lights should come on (If not the checker is faulty).
- The anti-lock brake system indicator light should not come ON (If it comes on the checker harness to the 6-P connector connection is faulty).
NOTE: When the test in progress indicator light is ON, don't turn the Mode Selector switch.

4. Turn the Mode Selector Switch to "2."
