Reading Codes (Checking the Number Of L.E.D. Flashes)

CHECKING THE NUMBER OF LED FLASHES

When a problem occurs in the ABS, the warning light on the instrument panel comes on. As shown in the Table, the control unit performs self-diagnosis.

For good self-diagnostic results, drive the vehicle beforehand over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute. After the vehicle is stopped, the number of LED flashes is counted while the engine is running. The LED is located on the control unit, identifying a malfunctioning part or unit by the number of flashes. The warning light and LED will not turn off, even after the malfunction is repaired, unless the ignition switch is turned off. After repairs, turn the ignition switch "OFF". Then start the engine and drive the vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH for at least one minute. This will ensure whether proper repair was made for the malfunctioning part or unit.

If more than two circuits malfunction at the same time, the LED will flash to indicate one of the malfunctioning circuits. After the circuit has been repaired, the LED will then flash to indicate that the other circuit is malfunctioning.
