ABS Light: Testing and Inspection

"ABS" Warning Light
When ABS trouble occurs to actuate "ABS" warning light, the trouble code corresponding to the trouble is stored in the EHCU. Only ordinary brake is available with ABS being unactuated. Even when "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 is lit 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.
