Diagnosis Without the New Select
Monitor
In addition to diagnosis using the Select
Monitor, the Service Manual also provides
a procedure for diagnosis of the ABS 5.3

with the ignition switch "Off," you would
ground terminal 6 of the diagnosis connec-
tor, using one of its grounding wires; turn
the ignition switch to "On"; and count the
ABS warning light blink codes. Then fol-
low the procedure outlined in "Diagnostics
Chart for On-board Diagnosis System."

Using the Trigger Option
One of the most useful features of the New
Select Monitor is the trigger option. When
you're troubleshooting an intermittent
problem, this feature can be particularly
useful, if you can duplicate the problem.
The ABS control unit stores the values of
the parameters at the moment a trouble
code is set, in its internal memory. The
New Select Monitor, however, can store
data on the parameters before, during, and
after a trouble code is set.
From the Main Menu, select " 2 . Each
System Check."
From the System Selection Menu select
"ABS/TCS
."
The New Select Monitor will now ask you
whether the vehicle has automatic trans-
mission ("ABS AWD AT") Press "Yes."
To set up the New Select Monitor for the
Trigger option, select "1. Current Data
Display and Save," at the "ABS Diagnosis"
menu. At the Data Display Menu select
"12 Data Display." The system will now
display the ABS parameters.
