1)  Reasons why the indicator lamps light up  
       
  
  
  
  
  
X1)  The vehicle is equipped with ASR:  
There is a malfunction that affects only the ASR system. The ABS and EDL systems are 
not deactivated. Check DTC memory   page 01

ASR is switched off via the traction control button. If the traction control indicator light 
does not light up in this case, check the switch and the indicator light, carry out the 
"Electrical test", steps 10 and 11   page 01

 . 
ASR is in adjustment mode. The traction control indicator light blinks 3 times per second.Short circuit to B+ in the traction control button: The traction control indicator light 
switches off five minutes after ignition is switched on. The lamp remains constantly lit after ignition is switched on, but none of the above 
mentioned conditions are true. There is a short to Ground (GND) in the wiring that 
controls the traction control indicator light between terminal 20 of the ABS control module 
-J104- and the instrument cluster. 
  
  
  
There is an irregularity present or a complaint has been made. The indicator lamps go 
on during the self-test and then go out. The possible causes are as follows:  The DTC "Brake light switch -F-" is stored in DTC memory , check DTC memory   page 01

 . 
The DTC "ABS/instrument cluster electrical connection" is stored in DTC memory , check 
DTC memory   page 01

The vehicle can be equipped either with or without ASR. No DTCs are stored in DTC 
memory. The ABS/EDL lamp remains constantly lit after ignition is switched on and the 
the red "brake system malfunction" symbol also lights up 3 seconds after ignition is 
switched on. The traction control indicator lamp does not light up even for vehicles 
equipped with ASR.  
 
There is an open circuit or short circuit to B+ in the wire that controls the ABS/EDL 
warning lamp between terminal 21 of the ABS control module -J104- and the instrument 
cluster; carry out "Electrical test" step 8   page 01
