1.BRAKE WARNING LAMP OPERATION CHECK
Check that the lamp illuminates after the ignition switch is turned ON, and turns OFF after the engine is
started.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection End
NO >> Go to diagnosis procedure. Refer to BRC-84, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003772612

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003772624
1.CHECK START
Check front and rear brake force di stribution using a brake tester.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check brake system.
2.CHECK FRONT AND REAR AXLE
Make sure that there is no excessive play in the front and rear axles. Refer to front: FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service", Rear: RAX-6, "On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning components.
3.CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check the following.
• Wheel sensor installation for damage.
• Sensor rotor installation for damage.
• Wheel sensor connector connection.
• Wheel sensor harness inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> • Replace wheel sensor or sensor rotor. Refer to BRC-114, "
Removal and Installation".
• Repair harness.
4.CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure that the ABS warning lamp is turned off af ter the ignition switch is turned ON or when driving.
Is the ABS warning lamp illuminated?
YES >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-24, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
NO >> Normal

CAUTION:
The stopping distance on slippery road surfaces might be longer with the ABS operating than when
the ABS is not operating.
1.CHECK FUNCTION
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector to deactivate
ABS. In this condition, check stopping di stance. After inspection, connect connector.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Normal
NO >> Check brake system.
