ABS warning light stays on more than 4 seconds with ignition switch on.

[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]

• ABS/TCS CM detects ABS system malfunction.

• Warning light circuit open or shorted to ground

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 (DATA LINK CONNECTOR-2) FOR CONTINUITY AND SHORTS
Perform DTC inspection.
Is error message displayed regarding communication between ABS/TCS HU/CM and WDS or equivalent?
Yes
If the communication error message is displayed even after inspecting according to procedures displayed in the WDS or equivalent, go to Step 8.
No
Go to next step.
2
CHECK FOR DTCs IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Have DTCs been recorded in memory?
Yes
Perform inspection using appropriate DTC.
No
Go to next step.
3
INSPECT PID/DATA IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Inspect the following items using WDS or equivalent PID/DATA monitor function.
• ABS_LAMP (ABS warning light)
Is ABS_LAMP ON after more than 4 seconds with ignition switch on?
Yes
Replace ABS/TCS HU/CM (open circuit or short to ground in ABS/TCS HU/CM).
No
Go to next step.

*4

VERIFY THAT ABS/TCS HU/CM CONNECTOR TERMINAL W IS CONNECTED
Does malfunction symptom happen again when ABS/TCS HU/CM connector terminal W is shaken while the ignition switch is ON?
Yes
Connect ABS/TCS HU/CM connector terminal W securely, then go to next step.
No
Go to next step 6.
5
VERIFY THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM OCCURS AFTER ABS/TCS HU/CM CONNECTOR TERMINAL W IS CONNECTED
Do ABS warning light go out after more than 4 seconds with ignition switch on?
Yes
Temporary poor connection at terminal.
Inspect ABS/TCS HU/CM connector and terminal.
No
Go to next step.

*6

CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUITS IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Disconnect ABS/TCS HU/CM connector.
Connect the SST (49 G066 001) (vehicle harness side only).
Use the SST connector to ground ABS warning light terminal W to body ground.
Does ABS warning light go out with ignition switch on?
Yes
Replace ABS/TCS HU/CM (open circuit in ABS/TCS HU/CM).
No
Go to next step.

*7

VERIFY SHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ABS/TCS HU/CM FOR CONTINUITY) OR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

Is there continuity between following SST connector terminal W and instrument cluster connector (24-pin) terminal 2F?
 
Yes
Replace instrument cluster (open or ground to short in instrument cluster).
No
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM (terminal W) and instrument cluster.

*8

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 (DATA LINK CONNECTOR-2) FOR CONTINUITY

Disconnect ABS/TCS HU/CM connector.
Connect the SST (49 G066 001) (vehicle harness side only).
Is there continuity between SST connector terminal T and data link connector?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM and data link connector.

*9

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 (DATA LINK CONNECTOR-2) FOR SHORT TO B+

Is voltage approximately 12V at SST connector terminal T?
Yes
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM and data link connector.
No
Go to next step.

*10

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 (DATA LINK CONNECTOR-2) FOR SHORT TO GROUND

Is there continuity between SST connector terminal T and ground?
Yes
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM and data link connector.
No
Replace ABS/TCS HU/CM (communication circuit malfunction is ABS/TCS HU/CM).

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