8. and 9. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator is controlled by the ABS module. If a fault in the ABS system is detected by the ABS module, the module issues a high speed CAN message to the instrument cluster to illuminate the ABS warning indicator in an amber color and display the message 'ABS FAULT' in the instrument cluster. The indicator is illuminated in an amber color for a 3-second indicator check when the ignition is switched on. If a fault is present when the ignition is on, the bulb will remain illuminated after the 3-second indicator check period.
- The 'ABS FAULT' message is not displayed in NAS markets.
- If both the ABS warning indicator and the brake warning indicator illuminate simultaneously, a major fault in the brake system will have occurred.
On NAS vehicles, the ABS warning indicator is also used for parking brake operation. The NAS warning indicator does not have 'ABS' on the icon and will function as described previously for the parking brake operation of the brake warning indicator.
