Kia Sedona (2008 year). Manual - part 5

INSPECTION PROCEDURES 

DTC INSPECTION 

1. Connect the Scan Tool with the data link connector and turn the ignition switch ON.  

2. Verify that the system is operating to specifications. Is the system operating to specifications? 

NO  



Check the power source circuit.  

YES  



Erase the DTC and recheck using Scan Tool.  

CHECK THE POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT. 

1. Disconnect the connector from the ABS control module.  

2. Turn the ignition switch ON, measure the voltage between terminal 18 of the ABS control module 

harness side connector and body ground. 

Specification: approximately B+ 

Is the voltage within specification? 

YES  



Check the ground circuit.  

NO  



Check the harness or connector between the fuse (10A) in the engine compartment junction block 
and the ABS control module. Repair if necessary. 

Brake operation varies depending on driving 
conditions and road surface conditions, so diagnosis 
can be difficult. However if a normal DTC is 
displayed, check the following probable cause. 
When the problem is still occurring, replace the 
ABS control module.



Inoperative power source circuit  



Inoperative wheel speed sensor circuit  



Inoperative hydraulic circuit for leakage  



Inoperative HECU

2. Check for continuity between terminals 1,4 of the ABS control module harness side connector and ground 

point. 

Is there continuity? 

YES  



Check the wheel speed sensor circuit.  

NO  



Repair an open in the wire and ground point.
