CHECK FOR BLOWN FUSE
Check continuity of fuse (10A) from the engine compartment junction block.
Is there continuity?
▶ Repair an open in the wire between ABS fuse and 1 of cluster connector.
▶ Replace the blown fuse.
DETECTING CONDITION
Trouble Symptoms Possible Cause
If the HECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning lamp while at
the same time prohibiting ABS control. At this time, the HECU
records a DTC in memory.Even though the normal code is output, the
ABS warning lamp remains ON, then the cause may be probably an
open or short in the ABS warning lamp circuit. a.
An open in the wire
b. Inoperative instrument cluster assembly
c. Inoperative ABS warning lamp module
d. Inoperative HECU
INSPECTION PROCEDURES
CHECK DTC OUTPUT.
1. Connect the Scan Tool to the 16P data link connector located behind the driver's side kick panel.
2. Check the DTC output using Scan Tool.
Is DTC output ?
▶ Repair circuit indicated by code output.
▶ Check instrument cluster.
CHECK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Disconnect the cluster connector and turn the ignition switch ON.
Does the ABS warning lamp remains ON?
▶ Replace the instrument cluster.
▶ Check for open the wire.
CHECK FOR OPEN IN THE WIRE
Check for continuity in the wire between cluster and ABS control module.
Is there continuity?
▶ Replace the ABS control module and recheck.
▶ Repair an open in the wire between cluster and ABS control module.
BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM
1. Remove the reservoir cap and fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid.
If there is any brake fluid on any painted surface, wash it off immediately.

DESCRIPTION
The EBD system (Electronic Brake force Distribution) as a sub- system of the ABS system is to control the effective
adhesion utilization by the rear wheels.
It further utilizes the efficiency of highly developed ABS equipment by controlling the slip of the rear wheels in the
partial braking range.
The brake force is moved even closer to the optimum and controlled electronically, thus dispensing with the need for
the proportioning valve.
The proportioning valve, because of a mechanical device, has limitations to achieve an ideal brake force distribution
tothe rear wheels as well as to carry out the flexible brake force distribution proportioning to the vehicle load or weight
increasing. And in the event of malfunctioning, driver cannot notice whether it fails or not.
EBD controlled by the ABS Control Module, calculates the slip ratio of each wheel at all times and controls the brake
pressure of the rear wheels not to exceed that of the front wheels.
If the EBD fails, the EBD warning lamp (Parking brake lamp) lights up.
ADVANTAGES
a.Function improvement of the base - brake system.
b. Compensation for the different friction coefficients.
c. Elimination of the proportioning valve.
d. Failure recognition by the warning lamp.

4.Connect the oil pressure switch wire harness.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the warning lamp lights up. If the warning lamp doesn't light, test the wire
harness.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
1.Remove the connector (A) from the switch located at the brake fluid reservoir (B).
2. Verify that continuity exists between switch terminals 1 and 2 while pressing the switch (float) down with a rod.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LAMP
1.Ignition "ON"
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Remove the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch.
4. Ground the connector at the harness side.
5. Verify that the warning lamp lights.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
The parking brake switch is a push type. It is located at the side of the parking brake pedal.
1. Check that there is continuity between the terminal and switch body with the switch (A) ON.
