Rough road signal from ABS/EDL 
control module, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
When the ABS/EDL control module senses a 
wheel spinning, it produces the rough road 
signal. When the ECM recognizes the rough 
road signal, the misfire recognition is switched 
off. 
     Check the rough road signal only when the 
trouble code 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine 
Torque ABS-ECU Electrical Malfunction" is 
stored. The possible "Misfire" malfunction is in 
this case a subsequent malfunction that can be 
disregarded. 
     The wiring and the rough road signal are 
monitored by the ECM. 
     Emissions testing on a front-wheel drive vehicle 
with ABS/EDL, during which only the front 
wheels turn while the rear wheels are 
stationary, can result in the DTC 18014 being 
stored in DTC memory. Therefore, the fuse for 
the ABS/EDL control module must be removed. 
After the test, check DTC memory for the 
ABS/EDL control module and the ECM. Then 
erase DTC memory.
