 . 
-  Connect diode test lamp between socket 3 (B+) and socket 54 (vehicle 
speed signal). 
-  Switch ignition on and turn front left wheel by hand.
   The diode test lamp should flash (very brief flashes).
-  If diode test lamp does not flash, check for open circuit or short to B+ 
or Ground (GND) in wiring between instrument panel and terminal 54 
on engine control module connector.

Signal for rough road recognition from 
ABS/EDL control module, checking
 
     
Note:  
     
The ABS/EDL control module generates the 
rough road signal if it recognizes wheel spin on 
a wheel. The Engine Control Module (ECM) 
switches off the misfire recognition once the 
rough road signal is recognized by the ECM. 
     The rough road signal should only be checked if 
the malfunction (P1606) 18014 "Rough Road 
Spec Engine Torque ABS-ECU/Electrical 
Malfunction" is stored in the DTC memory. It is 
possible that the malfunction "Misfiring" is also 
stored in DTC memory, however this is then a 
sequence error and should be ignored. 
     The wiring and the rough road signal is 
monitored by the ECM.
