5-18BRAKES - Anti-lock Braking System Troubleshooting
DABS warning light blinks once after the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. It
illuminates in the “START” position and blinks once again when turned to the “ON” position.
[Explanation]
When power flows, the ABS ECU turns on the
harness between the ECU and the warning light, thewarning light for approximately 1 sec. while itlight illuminates only when the valve relay is off in

[Explanation]The warning light lights up when there is an
abnormality (other than broken wire or short circuit)
in the wheel speed sensor output signal while
driving.
[Hint]
The following can be considered as the cause of thewheel speed sensor output abnormality.
l Distortion of rotor, teeth missing
lLow frequency noise interference when sensor
harness wire is broken
l Noise interference in sensor signall When the sensor output signal is below the
standard value or when amplitude modulation is
over the standard value, using an oscilloscope tomeasure the wave shape of the wheel speed
sensor output signal is very effective.
l Loose wheel bearing
l Temporarily broken wire in sensor harness
l Sensor harness and body connector are not
properly inserted.
NOTE
If contact is poor, check the sensor cable by bendingand lightly stretching it.

1 E-4 1 Abnormality of solenoid valve drive circuit
[Explanation]
The ABS ECU normally monitors the solenoid valve
drive circuit.
If no current flows in the solenoid even if the ECU
when turned OFF, the ECU determines the solenoidcoil wire is broken/short circuited or the harness
isbroken short circuited and then warning light lights
turns the solenoid ON or if it continues to flow even
up.
