wells01 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi This is my first post so I hope I am doing it correctly. I have a 2000 legacy gx automatic estate. My problem is that the ABS does not operate at all. On startup the Abs does not illuminate but the VDC off lamp does. I have checked fuses #8 and #15 and they are fine. The two relays near the abs unit click when the ignition is turned on. My suspicion is that someone has removed the ABS bulb which I think I need to get the codes to diagnose the problem!! Is there any other way of getting the codes or do I need to strip out the dashboard to check the abs bulb? Many thanks for any suggestions.

wells01 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi I took the dash out. The VDS and ABS bulbs were missing so I replaced them and sure enough the ABS and VDS lights are constantly illuminated. How do I get the codes. Is it via the obdii connector or via the mysterious black/white connector which ive been unable to find. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBisson Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you have a scanner that will read abs codes then you can use the obd2 port Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Take it to a place that does car elections. Not a place for radios and sub-woofers, but a repair shop. They will have a dealer level scanner to read MFG specific codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wells01 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for your replies. I downloaded ecuflash to my pc and connected using an obd cable. Having joined the two green connectors the only error it gave me was a starter signal error!. On further reading it looks like I must join the two black connectors and count the flashes.
