ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates as follows.
1. When the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then
switches off.
2. When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp remains illuminated.
3. When the ignition key is turned from “START” back to
“ON”, the ABS warning lamp illuminates for approximately
3 seconds and then switches off.
NOTE
The ABS warning lamp may remain on until the vehicle
reaches a speed of several km/h. This is limited to cases
where diagnosis code Nos.21 to 24, 41 to 44, 53 or 55
have been recorded because of a previous problem
occurring. In this case, the ABS-ECU keeps the warning
lamp illuminated until the problem corresponding to that
diagnosis code can be detected.
4. If the illumination is other than the above, check the
diagnosis codes.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING DIAGNOSIS CODES
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-IIor ABS warning lamp.
(Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.)
NOTE
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
When using the MUT-II
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin) and
erase the diagnosis code.
Caution
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.

When not using the MUT-II
NOTE
If the ABS-ECU function has been stopped because of fail-safe
operation, it will not be possible to erase the diagnosis codes.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Use the special tool to earth terminal (1) (diagnosis control
terminal) of the diagnosis connector.
3. Turn on the stop lamp switch. (Depress the brake pedal.)
4. After carrying out steps 1. to 3., turn the ignition switch
to “ON”. Within 3 seconds after turning the ignition switch
to “ON”, turn off the stop lamp switch (release the brake
pedal). Then, turn the stop lamp switch on and off a
total of 10 times.

Caution
1. If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
2. During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.
