'1 : ABS warning lamp turns on if a wheel or wheels spin for I0 to 80 seconds (depending on the wheel speed) with the vehicle
stuck in snow. ice, or mud. This is a normal condition.
'2: After repairing short-circuited sensor, turning ignition switch ON lights up ABS warning lamp. Check that ABS warning lamp
turns
off when the vehicle is driven at approx. 30 krnh for approx. 1 minute as shown in the self-diagnosis procedure. NOTE: If "ABSn is not displayed on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen, check ABS control unit and data link connector circuit, and make sure
of the CONSULT card number.

Refer to CONSULT Instruction Manual for details on data
monitor function.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT connector to data link connector for CON-
SULT.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch "START' on CONSULT screen.
5. Touch "ABS" on CONSULT screen.
If "START" is touched immediately after engine is started
or ignition switch is turned on,
"ABS" may not be dis-
played on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. To display "ABS",
repeat the data monitor procedure from the beginning.

Self-diagnosis
DESCRIPTION
When a problem occurs in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on. To actuate the self-diagnostic results
mode, ground the self-diagnostic check terminal
4 located on the
data
link
connector for
CONSULT. The ABS warning lamp, then,
flashes and indicates the location of the malfunction.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
2. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute.
3. Stop vehicle and start diagnosis.
4. Turn ignition switch "OFF'.
5. Ground the self-diagnostic check terminal 4.
6. Turn ignition switch "ON" to start the self-diagnostic results
mode.
CAUTION:
Keep terminal 4 grounded during self-diagnosis.
Do not depress brake pedal. (Self-diagnosis would not
start.)
Do not start engine. (Self-diagnosis would not start.)
7. After 3 or 4 seconds, ABS warning lamp starts blinking to indi-
cate the malfunction code No.
The indication terminates after 5 minutes. Turning the ignition
switch from
"OFF" to "ON" resumes blinking the indication.
8. Verify the location of the malfunction with "MALFUNCTION
CODUSYMPTOM CHART", BR-16. Then make the necessary
repairs.
9. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction
codes stored in the control unit. Refer to "HOW
TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS" on the next page.
10. Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to verify that the mal-
function codes have been erased.
11. Disconnect the check terminal from the ground. The self-diag-
nostic results mode is now complete.
12. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. I minute, and then
check that the ABS warning lamp is off.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
Determine the code No. by observing the time and the fre-
quency that the
ABS warning lamp blinks ON and OFF.
When multiple malfunctions occur at a time, up to three code
numbers can be stored; the latest malfunction will be indicated
first.
The indication begins with the start code No. 12. A maximum
of three code numbers appear in the order of the latest one
first. The indication then returns to the start code No.
12 to
repeat.
The start code No. 12 is only indicated repeatedly when there
is no malfunction.
