Default Check inside...from Bentley:

Rough road signal from ABS/EDL control module, checking

Notes:

When the ABS/EDL control module senses a wheel spinning, it produces the rough road signal. When the ECM recognizes the rough road signal, the misfire recognition is switched off.

Check the rough road signal only when the trouble code 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine Torque ABS-ECU Electrical Malfunction" is stored. The possible "Misfire" malfunction is in this case a subsequent malfunction that can be disregarded.

The wiring and the rough road signal are monitored by the ECM.

Emissions testing on a front-wheel drive vehicle with ABS/EDL, during which only the front wheels turn while the rear wheels are stationary, can result in the DTC 18014 being stored in DTC memory. Therefore, the fuse for the ABS/EDL control module must be removed. After the test, check DTC memory for the ABS/EDL control module and the ECM. Then erase DTC memory.
