NO.1 NEITHER ABS WARNING LIGHT NOR BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE WITH SWITCH THE IGNITION TO ON [ABS]


id0403a5950300

1

Neither ABS warning light nor brake system warning light illuminate with switch the ignition to ON

Possible cause
•  ABS HU/CM DTC is stored
•  CAN communication malfunction
•  Instrument cluster malfunction
•  Instrument cluster power supply malfunction
―  Short to ground in instrument cluster power supply circuit
―  Instrument cluster power supply fuse malfunction
•  Open circuit in instrument cluster power supply circuit
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between instrument cluster and body ground
•  ABS CM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
CONFIRM ABS HU/CM DTC
•  Retrieve the ABS HU/CM DTC using the M-MDS.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Inspect the instrument cluster.
If the instrument cluster is normal:
•  Inspect CAN communication.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
If the instrument cluster has a malfunction:
•  Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHT’S COMMON POWER SUPPLY, OR IN OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
•  Do other warning and indicator lights illuminate when the ignition is switched to ON?
Yes
Replace the instrument cluster (open circuit in instrument cluster).
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY FUSE
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Inspect the instrument cluster ignition power supply fuse.
•  Is the fuse normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect for short to ground in ignition power supply circuit.
Repair or replace if necessary.
Install appropriate amperage fuse.
*4
INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Instrument cluster connector is disconnected.
•  Reconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Measure the voltage at instrument cluster terminal 2S (wiring harness-side).
•  Is the voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect for open circuit in wiring harness between instrument cluster and body ground.
If the wiring harness has a malfunction:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness.
If the wiring harness is normal:
•  Replace the ABS CM.
5
INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Instrument cluster connector is disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Inspect for continuity between instrument cluster terminal 2A and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Replace the instrument cluster (open circuit in instrument cluster).
No
Inspect and repair for followings:
•  Open circuit in wiring between instrument cluster terminal 2A and body ground
•  Poor installation of ground point

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, slightly shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunction. If there is a problem, verify that the connectors, terminals and wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged.
