somewhere in your anti−lock brake sys-
tem.

ing, have your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

key is turned to the "ON" position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and

burned out.Have defective bulbs replaced as soon as
possible.

tion key is turned to the "ACC" or
"ON" position. After about 6 seconds,

belt pretensioner are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assemblies, front airbag sen-
sors, seat belt pretensioner assemblies,

ing and power sources.
