"ABS" Warning Light

"ABS" WARNING LIGHT
When ABS trouble occurs and actuates when possible the "ABS" warning light, the trouble code corresponding to the trouble is stored in the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). Only the ordinary brake system is available when the ABS is turned off.
When the "ABS" warning light is actuated, if the starter switch is set ON after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the entire system and, if there is no abnormality, judges ABS to work currently and the warning light works normally even though the trouble code is stored.

NOTE: Illumination of the "ABS" warning light indicates that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power assisted braking without anti-lock control is still available.

NORMAL OPERATION
"ABS" Warning Light
When the ignition is first moved from "OFF" to "RUN", the amber "ABS" warning light will turn "ON". The "ABS" warning light will turn "ON" during engine starting and will usually stay "ON" for approximately three seconds after the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" position. The warning light should remain "OFF" at all other times.
