The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some customers may comment of ABS light and/or Service Stability message on and upon inspection, a DTC C0045 and/or C0050 is found in the EBTCM. This code may be caused by a wire pulling out of the crimp on a terminal at the X413 or X414 connector. This concern can happen if the wire harness is pulled too tight during suspension movement. This can happen if the Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) harness is routed incorrectly around the brake hose that connects to the caliper.

Recommendation/Instructions:

Check the wires at the X413 and/or X414 connector, and make sure they are crimped to the terminal and have not pulled loose. It is also important to check the routing of the Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) harness. The harness should NOT wrap around the brake hose.
