Having trouble with programming ABS module and steering angle sensor

This is failing due to a response during the process that it doesn't like.

I suspect this is going to be related to the wiring repair that was made.

When you say they used a different connector, I assume you mean a connector from a different vehicle, but is it the correct connector for this vehicle?

The issue we may have been if he crossed wires or used a connector off a differently equipped vehicle.

So, at this point, we need to start with checking for codes and see if we have any ABS related codes.

Just make sure your scan tool pulls ABS codes, but it can communicate with the ABS to run this process then I am sure it can.

Also, if you have codes then the process will fail until they are gone so let's start with this and go from there. Thanks

Oh. I understand but can you get a picture of this?

You can replace a connector that includes CAN wires, but you can screw it up pretty easily.

If he used wire connectors and didn't solder them and heat shrink them then that very well could be the issue causing your initialization to fail.

I would suggest cutting these connectors out and solder them correctly just to be sure it is not an issue.

Here is a video that will show how to do this. I understand this is a headlight socket, but the wiring repair is the same.

As for the twisted CAN wires, they should be twisted but this is not solely the issue. They twist the wires because when you twist two wires together it reduces the chance of interference which will cause these network wires to have incorrect voltage. At this point that will cause issues with different modules because that is voltage dependent.

Let's start with a picture of what this looks like so I can be sure to be on the same page and we can go from there.

Sounds great. Thanks for the update. Let us know what happens but I suspect after you do that you may have better success.

However, as you are doing it, just make sure each wire appears to line up correctly.

Also, if this does not allow it to pass then check for codes and make sure we don't have any,

Let us know what happens and we can go from there.

Very kind but hopefully your search is over. We are all here to help and will do our best to work through issues with you.

Thank you and God Bless you as well.

That is the ABS connector? If so, then the only way to know is to trace the wire to find out where it goes into the ABS and then that will tell us what terminal it is in. Then we can go to that component and disconnect it and check continuity from that pin to the other end and that will tell us if it is wired correctly.

The brown wires may be ground so if that is the case then it doesn't matter if they are backwards. However, the green could be a wheel speed or the stop switch.

Did we ever check for codes? If you have some circuit codes, then that will tell us where to start.

You just said it. :)

Thanks for the kind words.

Let us know how we can help in the future.

Looks like this number 32200-TR7-A024I is a replacement for a 4 door SI with a 2.4L manual transmission.

Is your vehicle a 4 door SI?

If not, then that may help explain what is happening. They may have just found this harness out of another vehicle, and they tried to make it work.

I scanned through this and didn't find any mention of any codes. I think it was because you couldn't communicate with the ABS? Are you still not getting any codes?

Okay. Can you just get some pictures of the scan tool with all the codes and that will really help shed some light on this? At least it will give us some testing to run through to find the issue. Thanks
