ABS <2WD> ± Troubleshooting35B-16
Inspection Procedure 3
When ignition key is turned to ºONº (engine stopped),
ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
When current flows in the ABS-ECU, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and
back to on again as the initial check. So the ABS warning lamp will illuminate twice
when the valve relay is off even if there is a problem with the circuit between the
ABS warning lamp and the ABS-ECU.
Therefore, if the lamp does not illuminate, the cause may be: an open circuit in the
lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp bulb, an open circuit in both the circuit between
the ABS warning lamp and the ABS-ECU and in the circuit between the ABS warning
lamp and the valve relay.

Inspection Procedure 4
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness

This trouble symptom is limited to cases where communication with the MUT-II is possible (ABS-ECU
power supply is normal) and the diagnosis code is a normal diagnosis code.

ABS <2WD> ± Troubleshooting35B-17
Inspection Procedure 5
When ignition key is turned to ºSTARTº, ABS warning
lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
Current does not flow in the ABS-ECU when the ignition switch is turned to START.
Current flows in the ABS warning lamp even when the ignition switch is turned to
START. Therefore, the valve relay, which current is supplied through the ABS-ECU,
turns off when the ignition switch is at START. However, the warning lamp circuit
of the valve relay must turn on in turn. So the cause must be a defective circuit
on valve relay side.

Inspection Procedure 6
The ABS warning lamp flashes twice after the ignition key
is turned to ºONº. The lamp illuminates when the ignition
key is turned to ºSTARTº, and when the key is returned to
ºONº, it flashes once.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check
(approx. 3 seconds). During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on,
off and back to on again. If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU
and the ABS warning lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF
during valve relay test, etc.
