Gc8 ABS codes ( how to )

[lachlan]

Long story short this is how to get the fault codes from the abs on my jdm v3 sti gc8 

 

Theres a heap of info on the net but none of it was the same as mine 

 

Step 1 . Find the 2 earth prongs hidden inside tape in the same tape around where the wires for the green n black diagnostic plugs comes from 

They are black.  And sheathed individually about 3mm round . They are folded back over on them shelves and taped up from factory.  Mine had blue tape.  

Step 2 find this black 2 pin plug that is smaller than the green n black plugs .

 

Jam an earth pin in the blue n white wire . (Nothing happened when i tried the other wire )

 

Turn key on . Abs light will give you the 10s n 1s for a code . 

 

It can only store 3 codes even if you have more 

 

Jamming the earth pin in and out at least 3 times clears codes . 

 

My only re occurring code was 52 

Under the motor on the abs pump where the cam actually drives the 2 plungers was bit rusty / crud . 

Wd40 n a dung out and some grease on the faces it was good as again 

 

The top cover and magnets come off the whole thing with no fuss . The 2x torx 25 you can see .

The rotor n brushed n next plate didnt want to come out but that's only because its sealed/glued into the alloy housing . A small tire lever against the rotor broke that glue
