Brake Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection

ABS WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CHECK
Check that ABS and brake warning lights illuminate as follows.

NOTE: The EBD warning light is also used as the brake warning light.





1. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, ABS and brake warning lights illuminate.
2. The ABS and brake warning lights illuminate for three seconds *1 and then turn OFF *2.
3. Otherwise, check the diagnostic trouble code.

NOTE:
^ *1: The ABS warning light may stay ON until the vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h). As far as ABS-ECU stores any diagnostic trouble code related to the wheel speed sensor malfunction or the motor malfunction as past trouble, ABS-ECU continues illuminating the ABS warning light until it verifies that the malfunction for that code is resolved (start-up check).
^ *2: The light does not turn OFF when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level is lowered.
