Ok first remove the headlight switch, close attention as this is the tricky part.

All that's done. So am I looking for a black box about 4"X6" held in place with 2 10mm bolts? Part # "F65F-2C018-BA With Bracket"? If so, I've located it.

What's next?

Scroll back and make sure the wire connector and color of wires match.

Sounds like it.

If it is the rabs module this is the first harness test, you may need to make a long jumper wire to span the distance because most dvom leads aren't long enough. Disconnect the module and the rabs valve from the harness.

This last test step is a little confusing but you are testing the rabs valve pin itself, NOT the wiring harness.




P.S. Don't forget about the bad float level sensor in the master cylinder, that also needs to be replaced.

That's it? It's that simple to determine what's bad?

Resistance was infinite, no change, so I guess it's replace the electronic module. Is there a test of the module to verify it's bad bfore I pony up the dough to buy a new one?

Also can just the float sensor be replaced or does it only come with the reservoir as an assembly. Or, does the reservoir come with the sensor but only as an assembly with the master cyl?
