My 2009 Tahoe has Traction/ABS/Brake lights lit. Scanner won’t communicate with the ABS Controller so I can’t read codes. This made me think the controller is bad. I have checked fuses, cleaned and reseated the ground. Not sure what to check next. Brakes are new, just did front bearings with new ABS sensors. I was thinking of putting new sensors in the rear but since the scanner doesn’t communicate with the controller I’m not sure that will fix. Help please!!

Did this happen after changing the ABS sensors? Or there before?
And can you communicate with your ECM/TCM? Or nothing at all?

Do your cigarette lighters work? (I think they are the same fuse as power to the DLC)

And your scanner pic seems to say that the connector itself is OK...

Dunno.... but here is a wiring diagram in the meantime..

"An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not communicate with the vehicle."
