10M1CHECK IF THE WHEELS HAVE TURNED
FREELY FOR A LONG TIME.
: Check if the wheels have been turned freely
for more than one minute, such as when the
vehicle is jacked-up, under full-lock corner-
ing or when tire is not in contact with road
surface.
: The ABS is normal. Erase the trouble code.
NOTE:
When the wheels turn freely for a long time, such as when
the vehicle is towed or jacked-up, or when steering wheel
is continuously turned all the way, this trouble code may
sometimes occur.
: Go to step10M2.
