Fail-Safe

Fail-Safe Function
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In the event there is a malfunction with the electrical system, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on when it is the ABS that is malfunctioning, and the brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on when it is the EBD that is malfunctioning. At the same time, the VDC/TCS/ABS will be put in one of the following states by the fail-safe function.
^ When the ABS malfunctions, only the EBD operates. The condition is the same as that of models without VDC/TCS/ABS.

NOTE: ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. This is normal condition because a self-diagnosis for "Ignition switch ON" and "The first starting" are being performed.

^ When the EBD malfunctions, the EBD and ABS will not operate. The condition is the same as that of models without VDC/TCS/ABS and EBD.

VDC/TCS
In case of VDC/TCS system malfunction, the VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp or only VDC OFF indicator lamp are turned on, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without VDC/TCS equipment. In case of electrical malfunction with the VDC/TCS system, the ABS control continues to operate normally even though VDC/TCS does not operate.

CAUTION: If the Fail-Safe function is activated, then perform self-diagnosis for VDC/TCS/ABS control system.
