  • In order to check complaints and to be able to carry out pin-pointed troubleshooting, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory must be checked before commencing work on the ABS system.
  • Only separate connectors when the ignition is switched off.
  • Observe the appropriate instructions regarding the handling of brake fluid.

    • Refer to 47 BRAKES - HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS

  • ABS malfunctions are indicated by the ABS warning light illuminating. Certain malfunctions will only be recognized at speeds above 20 km/h (approx. 13 mph) (carry out road test).
  • If the ABS -K47- and the brake system -K118- warning lights do not illuminate, but the brake system is not functioning correctly then the malfunction must be sought in the conventional braking system.
