WARNING LIGHT INITIAL CHECK
Release the parking brake.
CAUTION:
When releasing the parking brake, set chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.
When the ignition switch is ON, check that the ABS warning light and brake system warning light (red indicator) illuminate and then turn off after 3 seconds. If a light remains on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuit below.
| Trouble Area | See procedure |
|---|---|
| ABS warning light circuit (Remains on) | |
| ABS warning light circuit (Does not come on) | |
| Brake system warning light (red indicator) circuit (Remains on) | |
| Brake system warning light (red indicator) circuit (Does not come on) |
SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using the Intelligent Tester)
Tech Tips
If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs stored during the sensor check will be cleared.
Procedure to enter Test Mode.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
Check that the shift lever is in P (for automatic transaxle model) or the parking brake is applied (for manual transaxle model).
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using the intelligent tester. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / Signal Check.
Check that the ABS warning light comes on for several seconds and then blinks in the Test Mode blinking pattern.
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit and ABS warning light circuit.
| Trouble Area | See procedure |
|---|---|
| TS and CG terminal circuit | |
| ABS warning light circuit (Remains on) | |
| ABS warning light circuit (Does not come on) |
SPEED SENSOR CHECK (Using the Intelligent Tester)
Drive the vehicle straight-ahead.
Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more over several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.
Stop the vehicle.
Note
The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the ABS will not operate.
Tech Tips
When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.
END OF SENSOR CHECK (Using the Intelligent Tester)
If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and is off while the vehicle is being driven.
Note
If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks even while the vehicle is being driven and the ABS does not operate.
READ DTC OF SENSOR CHECK FUNCTION (Using the Intelligent Tester)
Read the DTC(s) by following the intelligent tester screen.
Note
If only DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.
If DTCs and Test Mode codes (DTCs of the sensor check function) are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs and perform the Test Mode inspection.

SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using SST Check Wire)
Tech Tips
If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs stored during the sensor check will be cleared.
Procedure to enter Test Mode.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
Check that the shift lever is in P (for automatic transaxle model) or the parking brake is applied (for manual transaxle model).
| *1 | Front view of DLC3 |
Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Check that the ABS warning light comes on for several seconds and then blinks in the Test Mode blinking pattern.
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit, and ABS warning light circuit.
| Trouble Area | See procedure |
|---|---|
| TS and CG terminal circuit | |
| ABS warning light circuit (Remains on) | |
| ABS warning light circuit (Does not come on) |
SPEED SENSOR CHECK (Using SST Check Wire)
Drive the vehicle straight-ahead.
Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more over several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.
Stop the vehicle.
Note
The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the ABS system will not operate.
Tech Tips
When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.
END OF SENSOR CHECK (Using SST Check Wire)
If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and is off while the vehicle is driving.
Note
If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks even while the vehicle is driving and the ABS does not operate.
READ DTC OF SENSOR CHECK FUNCTION (Using SST Check Wire)
| *1 | Front view of DLC3 |
Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Count the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.
Note
If only DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.
If DTCs and Test Mode codes (DTCs of sensor check function) are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs and perform the Test Mode inspection.
Tech Tips
If more than 1 malfunction is detected at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
Refer to the list of DTCs Click here.
After performing the check, disconnect SST from terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG), and 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3, and turn the ignition switch off.
Turn the ignition switch to ON to cancel the Test Mode.
Tech Tips
If the ignition switch is not turned to ON after SST is removed from the DLC3, the previous Test Mode will continue.
If the ignition switch is turned to ON with terminals TS and CG connected, the previous Test Mode will continue.
