The ABS indicator does notcome on when ignition switch isturnod ON lll).
check the METER {7.5 A} fuse inthe underCash fuse/relay box,and reinstaltthe fuse if it is OK.
Check for an open in the lcl ch-cuil:1. Disconnect the gauge assem-bly 5P connector.2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
3. Measure the voltage betweenthe gauge assembly 5P con-nector terminal No. 5 andbody ground.
. Repair open in the wire betweenlhe METER {7.5 A) luse and thogauge assembly.. Reolece the under-dash fuse/relay box. (Opon circuit insidethe box.)
ls there battery voltage?
Check the ABS indicator bulb inthe gauge assembly.
Replace the ABS indicator bulb.
Check for a short to power in theWALP circuit:Measure the voltage between thegauge assembly 5P connectorterminal No. 1 and body ground.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Ghart
For electrical malfunctions which are indicated by the self-diagnostic system, reter to selt-diagnosjs function (see next
page).
Note these items before troubleshooting a symptom.
. Check the engine coolant level, and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Anv abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed, use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or less at the 20 kO
range when testing.
. Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:
- Fuses No. 47 17.5 AJ, No. 55 (40 A), No. 56 (20 A), No. 57 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 {7.5 A) in
the under-dash fuse/relay box.._ Grounds No. G101, G201, G202, G401, G4O2
- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
