Light Flash Technique
1. Note: If 12V test light is not available, the amber ABS warning light also flashes during this test.  Locate test connector in the engine compartment and install 12V test light between Pins C and E.
2. With the ignition off, jumper Pin E to B.
3. Turn key to RUN position.
4. Remove jumper between Pins E and B after 5 seconds.
5. Count light flashes of test light or amber ABS warning light.

Manually Clearing Diagnostic Codes: All diagnostic trouble codes must be output, all concerns corrected (anti-lock light off) and vehicle driven about 40 km/h (25 mph) before diagnostic trouble codes will be erased.
Note: Do not raise vehicle on hoist and accelerate to 40 km/h (25 mph) to simulate driving the vehicle. Erroneous sensor codes will be set.
Automatic Memory Erasing: A diagnostic trouble code will be automatically erased if no system concerns occur for 50 ignition cycles.

The front inlet valves should read 5-8 Ohms each; all other valves should read 3-6 Ohms each.  Sensors should read 800-1400 Ohms across the pins, and more than 10 Ohms from the metal shell to either pin.  The pump motor sensor should be 5-40 Ohms.  The acceleration sensor is a group of switches which should be closed when the truck is stationary & level.  When the sensor is tilted ~1" up in the rear, pins 2-3 should go open; when tilted ~1.5" up in the front, pins 1-3 should go open.
