LONG STOPPING DISTANCES ON LOOSE ROAD SURFACESWhen braking on loose surfaces like snow-covered or gravel roads, the stopping
distance can be longer for an ABS-equipped vehicle than the stopping distance for a
vehicle with a conventional brake system. SHOCK AT STARTING CHECK Shock may be felt when the brake pedal is lightly pressed while driving at a low
speed. This is a normal characteristic because the ABS system operation check is
carried out when vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or less. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The anti-lock braking system (ABS) operates differently from conventional brake
systems. These differences include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that
owners and service technicians who are not familiar with ABS may not be used to.
Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply
signs of normal ABS operation. When diagnosing the ABS system, keep these
operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance
characteristics to expect from an ABS-equipped vehicle. ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION CONDITIONS ABS diagnostic trouble codes (ABS DTCs) are set under different conditions,
depending on the malfunction detected. Most ABS DTCs will only be set during
vehicle operation. Some ABS DTCs will also be set during the ABS self-check
immediately after the engine is started.
When you check if an ABS DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should duplicate the ABS DTC set conditions. Depending on the
detection timing and set conditions for the specific ABS DTC, you must either drive
the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To set the proper conditions for that
DTC again, refer to ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
for each ABS DTC that you
are trying to reset.

Observe these precautions when servicing the air bag system:
Disable SRS before servicing any SRS component. Failure to do this may
result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM
.
After disabling SRS, wait at least 60 seconds before servicing SRS. After servicing, always turn ignition on from outside of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag module deployment. After servicing, check AIR BAG warning light to verify system operation. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
.
Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an SRS component. Hearing protection must be worn when performing deployment procedures. DO NOT expose air bag modules, clockspring or SRS ECU to temperatures
greater than 200°F (93°C ). DO NOT expose seat belt pretensioners to temperatures greater than 194°F
(90°C ). When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other surface, always place
air bag module with trim cover facing up and away from surface. This will
reduce motion of air bag module if accidental deployment occurs. After air bag module deploys, surrounding surfaces may contain deposits of
sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber
gloves and a long-sleeved shirt during clean-up. Wash hands using mild soap
and water. Follow correct clean-up and disposal procedures. See
DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES
.
Because of critical system operating requirements, DO NOT service any SRS
components. Repairs are only made by replacing defective components. DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on back of air bag module. When carrying a live (undeployed) air bag module, trim cover must be pointed
away from body to minimize injury in case of accidental air bag deployment. If instructed to probe wire harness, do so from harness side of connector. DO NOT probe a wire through insulator. Wire will be damaged and eventually
fail due to corrosion. When
performin
g electrical tests,
prevent accidental shortin
g of terminals.
