ABS Warning Light Remains On






BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: ABS Warning Light Remains ON; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]
- ABS Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.

If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on:

* The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector is disconnected from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

* There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) internal circuit.

* There is an open in the harness between the combination meter assembly and the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).

* The ABS control system is defective.

HINT
In some cases, the Techstream cannot be used when the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is abnormal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform VSC sensor neutral memorization Programming and Relearning.
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Check if a CAN communication system DTC is output Diagnosis System.

Result:





B -- INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM How to Proceed With Troubleshooting
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK IF BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED

(a) Check if the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector is securely connected.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK BATTERY

(a) Check the battery voltage.

Standard Voltage:

11 to 14 V

NG -- CHECK OR REPLACE CHARGING SYSTEM COMPONENT OR BATTERY Component Tests and General Diagnostics
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE TERMINAL)

(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.









(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND1 TERMINAL)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.









(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND1 CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

(a) Reconnect the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(b) Perform an Active Test of the combination meter assembly (meter CPU) using the Techstream Meter / Gauge System.

(c) Check the combination meter assembly.

OK:

The ABS warning light turns on or off in accordance with the Active Test operation.

HINT
If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing parts Problem Symptoms Table.

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal

OK -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY Removal
