ABS failure found!

[dripley]

Good to hear Mike. Now if I can fix mine. 2 new wheel bearings and replaced the rear sensor. Lights are still on. But that is for another thread.

@dripley ok... Let's work through your problem. So you replaced the front sensors with the new wheel bearings. New rear sensor. Now have you ohm tested the leads from the ABS computer to the sensors? Have you checked and dielectric greased all connectors? Have you checked the tone rings for debris in the teeth? Beyond that I'm going to need to see the truck when you come to Idaho.

I did not check the bearings for any debris. The ABS light was on when I replaced the bearings and I hoped that would solve the problem. I have pulled the connectors off of the computer plugged and unplugged them a few times. greased them and reconnected them. I also did the same to the connector just behind drivers front wheel. Have not ohmed anything as of yet.

Kind of tough to figure out ABS issues without being able to see codes. As you see my thread is based on fighting an ABS issues for over 2 years and spent lots of money on sensors and ABS module rebuild. I'm hoping is a basic issue like broken wire or a sensor that isn't fully plugged in.

Being electrically challenged does not help either.

I'm going to have to create a killer write up on ABS diagnostics and how to test for these weird things with and without a DRBIII tool.

Hey Mike in case you do the write-up this could be helpful.

Oh man I don't have all the IDs nicely organized in one place but all over inside the code,  it will take me a while to get it all. 
Some of the messages are unknown even to me.

 

Let's start with brief explanation off the CCD BUS. Messages on the CCD-bus are flowing in a series a bytes. 
Every message starts with an identification byte (ID byte) There’s no way of knowing what every single byte means.
Some messages can be reverse engineered by trial and error. The last byte is a one byte checksum value, inbetween is the message if any. The checksum byte is calulated by summing all the ID and Data Bytes.

256 is then subtracted from that sum. 
The subtraction will end once the checksum falls within 0-255 decimal range.

 

ID36 Vehicle Speed
/***************************************************************
[0] = 36 = Vehicle Speed
[1] = SPD_MPH
[2] = SPD_KMH
[3] = CRC

 

Example: 36 15 24 75
SPD_MPH = 15(DEC) mph
SPD_KMH = 24(DEC) km/h
CRC: 36+15+24 = 75; 
***************************************************************/

/***************************************************************
[0] = 109 = Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
[1] = VIN_POSITION
[2] = VIN_VALUE (ASCII DEC)
[3] = CRC
Notes: the messages are ~3 seconds away from each other so the
reading of the full VIN will take ~1 minute

 

Example:

109 Pos.1   ASCII.49 159

Can u turn on and off high idle with it

Currently NO.

Will it be possible in the future?

I'm not sure maybe... I'm having a hard time accessing the ECU with CCD bus in diagnostic mode.

Just to be clear there is no issues reading the data in-coming from ECM on the CCD bus.

On top of all this the older 1998.5-2000? 2nd gen Cummins trucks ECM may need to be reflash for high idle feature anyway.

[01_Cummins_4x4]

@Chris O. - Congrats on making an awesome tool for troubleshooting our Dodge diesels and other OBDII vehicles!!!

 

I just got back into diesels last Friday when I got a 99 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab short box Cummins 4x4 pickup, otherwise I'd have been all over beta testing your tool for you before now.

 

My Dodge is having a delayed wait to start issue and I just replaced the AIT sensor, but no change in the wait to start issue.

My ABS and brake lights will come on every once in a while, and I just put in a new rear ABS sensor in the rear end, but it's still happening. It doesn't have the bad ECM code, but I'm still leery that it could be the ECM.

 

My auto transmission is painted gold with a blue pan, so someone must have been through it, but when it shifts from 1st to 2nd, then it shifts up to 3rd and then it shifts again really quick and disrupts the normal acceleration, and then it shifts into OD. It's not slipping at all, but it is annoying as hell.

 

Would you by chance need another tester to help improve your tester tool by providing all the data that I can get from it?

 

I was the person on the Toyota forums that did all the testing and diagnosis for the Limited 4Runner multi mode 4x4 system, and I helped saved many Toyota owners thousands of dollars by testing the sensors of the 4wd system, instead of replacing the transfer case that the Toyota dealers were quoting them at $2k a pop.

 

I'm an IT guy anyway, (network administrator) so I enjoy the data logging, diagnosis, and resolution of issues.

 

Please let me know ASAP if I can be of assistance in helping improve your testing tool.

 

Thanks,

 

Doug

Well currently the beta testing is almost over as i am working on the final design.

There might be a brief short beat test for the new tool.

[01_Cummins_4x4]

Please let me know!

 

I'd like to get my issues resolved ASAP.

 

Thanks,

Just a thought, but I think your issues might be related to a bad alternator, aside from abs, which is more likely from one of the front wheel bearings. 

[01_Cummins_4x4]

I'll double check the ABS, but I believe that I only have rear ABS on this pickup. I haven't checked the AC noise from the alternator yet, but I will this evening.
