Special Test Descriptions

This section includes brief descriptions of many of the
special tests. Actual tests vary by vehicle manufac-
turer, year, make, component, etc. For complete test
instructions and specifications, refer to the vehicle
service manual for the vehicle being tested.

ABS Manual Control Tests

Manual Control Tests let you use the NGIS tool to man-
ually control the actuators in order to test the following:
ABS motors, solenoids, solenoid enable relays, EMBs,
and more.

You can confirm proper operation by comparing what
you command with the NGIS tool to what the ECU sees
as a response and to what the actual output is at the
component.

ABS Motor Test

The Motor Test lets you use the NGIS tool to manually
control the ABS pump motor. For some vehicles, the
NGIS tool runs the test automatically; for other vehi-
cles, the tool displays instructional screens for you to
perform the test manually.

ABS Version Test

The ABS Version test displays the name of the brake
system and the ABS controller version number, soft-
ware ID, and sequence value.

Actuator Tests

The Actuator Tests let you use the NGIS tool to man-
ually control the actuators in order to test the following:
AYC valves, inlet valves, outlet valves, pump motors,
TRACS valves.

You can confirm proper operation by comparing what
you command with the NGIS tool to what the ECU sees
as a response and to what the actual output is at the
component.
