Symptom Chart

CAUTION:
  • ABS may operate in the following conditions without hard braking: Slippery road surface, high-speed turn, and bumpy road surface. When asking the customers, confirm that they have/have not encountered ABS operation in corresponding conditions.
  • During ABS operation, the brake pedal is pulled forward gradually, and noise occurs at the same time. This is because the brake line pressure varies intermittently to prevent the wheel lock, and not a system malfunction.
  • During diagnosis, a diagnostic trouble code associated with other system may be set when the ignition switch is turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On completion, check all systems for diagnostic trouble code(s). If diagnostic trouble code(s) are set, erase them all.
