LONG STOPPING DISTANCES ON LOOSE ROAD SURFACESWhen braking on loose surfaces like snow-covered or gravel roads, the stopping
distance can be longer for an ABS-equipped vehicle than the stopping distance for a
vehicle with a conventional brake system. SHOCK AT STARTING CHECK Shock may be felt when the brake pedal is lightly pressed while driving at a low
speed. This is a normal characteristic because the ABS system operation check is
carried out when vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or less. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The anti-lock braking system (ABS) operates differently from conventional brake
systems. These differences include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that
owners and service technicians who are not familiar with ABS may not be used to.
Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply
signs of normal ABS operation. When diagnosing the ABS system, keep these
operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance
characteristics to expect from an ABS-equipped vehicle. ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION CONDITIONS ABS diagnostic trouble codes (ABS DTCs) are set under different conditions,
depending on the malfunction detected. Most ABS DTCs will only be set during
vehicle operation. Some ABS DTCs will also be set during the ABS self-check
immediately after the engine is started.
When you check if an ABS DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should duplicate the ABS DTC set conditions. Depending on the
detection timing and set conditions for the specific ABS DTC, you must either drive
the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To set the proper conditions for that
DTC again, refer to ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
for each ABS DTC that you
are trying to reset.
ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY
2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor LS
2004 BRAKES Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) - Endeavor

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find an ABS fault.
1. Gather information about the problem from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any ABS DTC.
4. If you cannot verify the condition and there are no ABS DTCs, the malfunction
is intermittent. Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT
MALFUNCTIONS
.
5. If you can verify the condition but there are no ABS DTCs, or the system
cannot communicate with the scan tool, check that the basic brake system is
operating properly.
If the basic brake system is not operating properly, refer to the BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
.
If the basic brake system is operating properly, refer to SYMPTOM CHART
.
6. If there is an ABS DTC, record the number of the DTC, then erase the DTC
from the memory using the scan tool.
7. Duplicate the ABS DTC set conditions to see if the same ABS DTC will set
again.
If the same ABS DTC sets again or the ABS DTC cannot be erased,
perform the diagnostic procedures for the DTC. Refer to HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE CAN BUS LINE
.
If you cannot get the same ABS DTC to set again, the malfunction is
intermittent. Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS If the ABS-ECU detects any problem in the CAN communication line or the ECUs,
which the ABS-ECU is communicating with, it stores a diagnostic trouble code.
The DTCs have 27 items. The DTCs can be confirmed by connecting scan tool
MB991958
(MUT-III sub assembl
y.) The stored DTCs are not erased even after the

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
).

2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor LS
2004 BRAKES Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) - Endeavor

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
