ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION


Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates in the following way.
Even if the pressure inside the accumulator of the hydraulic brake booster (HBB) is below the specified value, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate because ABS operation has been stopped. In such case, if the HBB pump is driven by the accumulated pressure inside the accumulator and causes the ABS warning lamp to switch off, it does not indicate a system malfunction.

1.When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, the ABS warning lamp illuminate for approximately 3 seconds* and then switches off.
note *: ABS warning lamp may stay ON until the vehicle speed reaches a few km/h. As far as the ABS-ECU stores any diagnosis code related to the wheel speed sensor malfunction or the motor malfunction as past trouble, the ABS-ECU continues illuminating ABS warning lamp until it verifies that the malfunction for that code is resolved (Startup check).
2.When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, the ABS warning lamp remains illuminated.
3.When the ignition switch returns from the START to the ON position, the ABS warning lamp illuminates* for approximately 3 seconds, and then remains switched off.
note *:The ABS warning lamp may remain illuminated after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the vehicle starts moving until the vehicle speed reaches a speed of several km/h. This only occurs if a diagnosis code from No.21 to No.24 relating to a wheel speed sensor malfunction and No.25 defective tyre with different diameter was generate when the ignition switch was last turned to the ON position and is still stored in the ABS-ECU. The ABS-ECU will cause the ABS warning lamp to illuminate until the point where it can ascertain (during the starting-off check) that the problem associated with this diagnosis code has returned to normal.
4.If the illumination is other than the above, check the diagnosis codes.
