Abstract
The ABS diagnostic tool is an electrical apparatus. The ABS diagnostic tool is configured for use with a vehicle. The vehicle further comprises an anti-skid braking system (ABS). The ABS forms the brake system of the vehicle. The ABS diagnostic tool is an interface device that electrically connects to the ABS. The ABS diagnostic tool provides electrical access to key elements of the ABS that allows for the use of electric tools, such as a multi-meter, in diagnosing maintenance issues associated with the ABS. The ABS diagnostic tool comprises a breakout circuit and the vehicle. The breakout circuit plugs into the ABS. The interface presented by the breakout circuits presents a plurality of terminal sets which are electrically accessible.
