5A4-34 ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS

Symptom Diagnosis

The symptoms that cannot be indicated by the warning light can be divided in the following five categories:

1. ABS works frequently but vehicle does not decelerate.
2. Uneven braking occurs while ABS works.
3. The wheels lock during braking.
4. Brake pedal feel is abnormal.
5. ABS operating sound (from Hydraulic Unit) is heard while not braking.

These are all attributable to problems which cannot be detected by EHCU self-diagnosis. Use the customer complaint
and a test to determine which symptom is present. Then follow the appropriate flow chart listed below.
