2004 BRAKES
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) - Endeavor 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The 4ABS ensures directional stability and control during hard braking. 
This ABS uses a 4-sensor 4-channel system that controls all four wheels 
independently of each other. The basic system is the same as that for the Lancer. 
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution system) control has been installed to 
provide the ideal braking force for the rear wheels.  
EBD CONTROL In ABS, electronic control is used so the rear wheel brake hydraulic pressure during 
braking is regulated by rear wheel control solenoid valves in accordance with the 
vehicle's rate of deceleration. The front and rear wheel slippages are calculated from 
the signals received from the various wheel sensors. EBD control is a control 
system which provides a high level of control for both vehicle braking force and 
vehicle stability. The system has the following features:  
To shorten the harness wires and enhance data transmission reliability, 
communication with other ECU is performed over a CAN (Controller Area 
Network).  Fail-safe function ensures that safety is maintained.  Diagnostic function provides improved serviceability.  Because the system provides the optimum rear wheel braking force regardless 
of vehicle load and the condition of the road surface, the system reduces the 
required pedal depression force, particularly when the vehicle is heavily 
loaded.  Because the duty placed on the front brakes is reduced, the increases in pad 
temperature can be controlled during front brake application to improve pad 
wear.

CIRCUIT OPERATION 
A toothed ABS rotor generates a voltage pulse as it moves across the pickup 
field of each ABS sensor. 
CAUTION: If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an 
incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. 
Diagnose the CAN bus lines before the DTC (Refer to 
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DIAGNOSIS
 ).

The amount of voltage generated at each wheel is determined by the clearance 
between the ABS rotor teeth and the ABS sensor, and by the speed of rotation. Sends alternating current signals at frequencies which are proportional to the 
rotation speeds of each wheel to the ABS electronic control unit (ABS-ECU).  The ABS hydraulic unit modulates the amount of braking force individually 
applied to each wheel cylinder.  
ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS The ABS-ECU monitors voltage fluctuation in each ABS sensor circuit. If the ECU 
detects short or open circuit in the circuit, it will set a diagnostic trouble code. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THESE DTCS ARE TO SET ARE:) 
Current trouble 
Malfunction of the ABS sensor  Damaged wiring harness or connector  Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS-ECU)  
Past trouble 
Carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis o connector(s) or wiring harness 
in ABS sensor circuit. For diagnosis procedures, refer to HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVIC
 ).  
DIAGNOSIS Required Special Tools:  
MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly) 
MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)  MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable  MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A  
MB991970: ABS Check Harness  
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.

2. Start the engine.  
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode, and check the data list 
items by driving the vehicle. 
Item 01 (DTC C1200 is set): Front right ABS sensor  Item 02 (DTC C1205 is set): Front left ABS sensor  Item 03 (DTC C1210 is set): Rear right ABS sensor  Item 04 (DTC C1215 is set): Rear left ABS sensor  
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.  
Q: Does the speedometer indication match the scan tool indication?  
YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to 
HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
 .  
NO: Go to Step 4.  
STEP 4. Measure the voltage at ABS-ECU connector A-02. 
1. Disconnect the connector A-02, and connect special tool ABS Check 
Harness (MB991970) to the wiring harness-side connector. 
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.  
3. Measure the voltage between the relevant signal and ground terminals in 
the ABS sensor circuit and body ground. It should be less than 1V. 
DTC C1200 is set: Between signal terminal 9 and body ground, and 
between ground terminal 10 and body ground  DTC C1205 is set: Between signal terminal 26 and body ground, and 
between ground terminal 16 and body ground  DTC C1210 is set: Between signal terminal 11 and body ground, and between
