ABS Warning Light Remains ON: Procedure

  1. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR CONNECTION 
    1. Check that each ECU connector is properly installed.

      OK

      Each ECU connector is properly installed.

    NG → CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT BATTERY 
    1. Check the battery voltage.

      Standard voltage

      11 to 14 V

    NG → RECHARGE OR REPLACE BATTERY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Check for DTC. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      Warning light remains on (when using Techstream) A
      Warning light remains on (DTC cannot be output)
      (when not using Techstream)
      B
      Malfunction code is output C
      Normal code is output (when not using Techstream) D

    D → END 

    C → REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS 

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (IG VOLTAGE) 
    1. Check the Data List for proper functioning of the IG voltage.
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item / Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      ECU IG Power Voltage ECU power supply voltage / LOW/NORMAL/HIGH LOW: Below 10 V
      NORMAL: 10 to 14 V
      HIGH: 14 V or more
      -
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      Display is not NORMAL A
      Display is NORMAL B

    B → REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

    1. Disconnect the S5, S7 and S8 ECU connectors.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S7-6 (IG1) - S5-16 (GND4) 10 to 14 V
      S7-6 (IG1) - S5-22 (GND3) 10 to 14 V
      S7-6 (IG1) - S8-6 (GND2) 10 to 14 V
      S7-6 (IG1) - S8-31 (GND1) 10 to 14 V
      S7-6 (IG1) - Body ground 10 to 14 V
    4. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S5-16 (GND4) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      S5-22 (GND3) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      S8-6 (GND2) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      S8-31 (GND1) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (SKID CONTROL ECU - COMBINATION METER) 
    1. Check for open and short circuits in the multiplex communication system between the skid control ECU and combination meter. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK COMBINATION METER (ABS WARNING LIGHT) 
    1. Check the combination meter. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK → REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU
