ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or remains on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.

after a few seconds. Thereafter, if either
of the systems malfunctions, the light
comes on again.

the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system, the brake assist
system, traction control system and the
vehicle skid control system do not oper-
ate, but the brake system still operates
conventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden brake or braking on slippery
road surfaces. If either of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
somewhere in the parts monitored by
the warning light. Contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible to service
the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or remains on.

CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the brake system warn-
ing light, immediately stop your ve-
hicle at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.

are completely closed.

tion key is turned to the “ON” position.

bag and front seat belt pretensioner are
operating properly.

sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt
buckle switch, front seat belt pretensioner
assemblies, inflators, warning light, inter-
connecting wiring and power sources.

ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or remains on.
The light comes on or flashes while

somewhere in the vehicle skid control sys-
tem or traction control system.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON”, and will go off after

control system and traction control system
do not work. However, as conventional
braking operates when applied, there is no
problem to continue your driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The light does not come on after the
ignition is turned to on.
The light is left on after the ignition is
turned to on.
The light comes on while driving. The “TRAC OFF” indicator light will come
on when the “VSC” warning light comes
on even if the “TR
AC OFF” switch is not
pushed.

key when you open the driver’s door with
the ignition key in the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position.
