Codes 5-0 through 5-9
Indicate a short to battery voltage in a solenoid valve Circuit between the ABS Booster Unit (Z103) and the Anti-Lock Brake System ECU (Z108). This fault could be intermittent. Check the booster unit's ground strap, the wiring harness and the connectors at the booster unit and the ECU. If all components check OK, replace the ECU. The specific solenoid valve circuit affected is as listed:

5-0 Right Front Inlet
5-1 Right Front Outlet
5-2 Left Front Inlet
5-3 Left Front Outlet
5-4 Right Rear Inlet
5-5 Right Rear Outlet
5-6 Left Rear Inlet
5-7 Left Rear Outlet
5-8 Isolation Inlet
5-9 Isolation Outlet
