ISSUE
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) indicator may illuminate on some vehicles. Preliminary investigation will indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
01165 and/or 01175. Pinpoint tests will show no failure. This could be due to moisture entering the ABS module connector, 01057, which causes
electrical shorts and/or corrosion.
ACTION
Add Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to ABS connector C1057, and seal the ABS system ground eyelet by point-soldering the
crimp and applying Silicone Gasket And Sealant to minimize moisture entry into the connector. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
