If the warning lamp illuminateswhile driving
E00607302436
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is
driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if
the battery voltage is insufficient when the engine is started. In this case, it doesnot indicate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the en- gine to idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the
ABS warning lamp continues to illumi-
nate or illuminates intermittently, have
the vehicle inspected.
If the ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illuminate
at the same time
The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion will not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
NOTEl Immediately after the vehicle starts moving
after engine start up, a whining sound of a motor will be heard from the engine com-
partment. If the brake pedal is depressed at that moment, you can feel the brake pedal
pulsating.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis
operation of the ABS and does not indicate a malfunction.
l After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-NOTEted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.
l The ABS becomes operative after the vehi-
cle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops op-
erating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 7 km/h (4 mph).
