Faulty ABS operation735B-21
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.
