Symptom Diagnosis
The symptoms that cannot be indicated by the warning
light can be divided in the following five categories:
1. ABS works frequently but vehicle does not
decelerate.
2. Uneven braking occurs while ABS works.
3. The wheels lock during braking.4. Brake pedal feel is abnormal.
5. Braking sound (from EHCU) is heard while not
braking.
These are all attributable to problems which cannot be de-
tected by EHCU self-diagnosis. Use the customer com-
plaint and a test to determine which symptom is present.
Then follow the appropriate flow chart listed below.
