Circuit Description

This symptom table checks the state of the ABS warning indicator to identify a situation in which the driver could not be warned of a system malfunction by the ABS warning indicator, or the ABS warning indicator is always ON. The EBCM/EBTCM sends a message to the electronic instrument panel cluster (IPC) via the Serial Data Line and the IPC will illuminate the indicator lamp(s).

Diagnostic Aids

The lamp test function of the scan tool may be used to command the indicator ON while looking for an intermittent malfunction in the ABS warning indicator.
