NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS

M1352012600207

1. The ABS is a system which controls the brake 

pressure by means of the operation of the ECU. 
Accordingly, the following symptoms may occur at 
times, but these are a sign of normal ABS 
operation, and do not indicate a malfunction.

2. For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads 

and gravel roads, the braking distance for 
vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than 
that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the 
customer to drive safely on such roads by 
lowering the vehicle speed and not being too 
overconfident.

3. Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending 

on the diagnosis code. Make sure that checking 
requirements listed in the "Comment" are satisfied 
when checking the trouble symptom again.

Phenomenon

Explanation of phenomenon

When the engine starts, a knocking sound can be heard coming 
from the engine compartment.

This sound occurs as a result of system 
operation checking, and is not a 
malfunction.

• Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. 

(whine)

• Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake 

pedal. (scraping)

• When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle 

chassis due to repeated brake application and release. 
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)

This is the sound of normal system 
operation, and is not a malfunction.

Shocks are felt if the brake pedal is depressed when driving at 
low speed.

This is due to system operation checking 
(starting-of check when the vehicle speed 
reaches a certain number of km/h) and is 
not a malfunction.

ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION

M1352012000249

Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates as fol-
lows.
1. When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" 

position, the ABS warning lamp illuminates for 
approximately 3 seconds and then switches off.

2. When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" 

position, the ABS warning lamp remains 
illuminated.

3. When the ignition switch is turned from the 

"START" position back to the "ON" position, the 
ABS warning lamp illuminates for approximately 3 
seconds and then switches off.
NOTE: The ABS waning lamp may remain on until 
the vehicle reaches a speed of several km/h. This 
is limited to cases where diagnosis code Nos. 21 
to 24, 41 to 44, or 53 to 55 have been recorded 
because of a previous problem occurring. In this 
case, the ABS-ECU keeps the warning lamp illu-
minated until the problem corresponding to that 
diagnosis code can be detected.

4. If the illumination is other than the above, check 

the diagnosis codes.
