Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS lndicalor
1 lf the system is oK, the ABS indicator goes off two seconds after turning the ignition switch oN 1l) wathout staningthe engine, and then comes on again and goes off after two seconds. This occurs because the ABS control unit isturned on by the lG2 power source.2. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even thouoh thesystem is operating properly, the ABs indicator will come on too, under the following conditions:. Signal disturbance
. Wheel spin
. Only drive wheels rotate. Battery voltage fluctuates
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question the customer about the problem, taking these conditions intoconsideration:
3 When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator comes on, the indicator can stay on until the ignition switch isturned OFF, or it can automatically go off, depending on the mode.. Indicator stays on untilthe ignition switch is turned off: When the system is in the system down mode.. Indicator automatically goes off: When the system is in the control inhibition mode.4 The ABS indicator stays on when the system is reactivated without erasing the DTC, but it goes off after starting thevehicle.
When the wheel sensor system is faulty and the ABS indicator comes on. the algorithm of the system automatically turnsoff the ABS indicator after the wheel speed signal returns to the normal speed. Also, when the DTc is erased, the cpu isreset and the ABS indicator goes off when the system checked out normal by the initial diagnosis.Therefore, test-drive the vehicle after servicing the wheel sensor system. and be sure that the ABS indicator does notcome on.
5 When the ABS control unit outputs battery voltage to the gauge assembly, the ABS indicator ooes off.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCI
1. The diagnostic trouble code (DTc) is memorized when a problem is detected and the ABS indicator does not go off,or when the ABS indicator comes on.The DTc is not memorized when the ABS indicator comes on unress the cpu is activated,2 The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However, when the same DTc is detected twice or more, the tater one iswritten over the old one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is recorded as one DTC.3. The DTCs are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order they occur.4. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memorv).Therefore, the memorized DTcs cannot be canceled by disconnecting the battery. perform the specified procedures toerase the DTCS.
Self-diagnosis
1. Self-diagnosis can be classified into these four categories:' Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the eng ine starts and untir theABS indicator goes off.. Except ABS control: Performed when the ABS is not functioning.. During ABS control: Performed when the ABS is functioning.. During warning: Performed when the ABS indicator is ON.2. The system performs the fo|owing contrors when a probrem is detected by the serf-diagnosis:. ABS indicator ON. Memorv of DTC. Mode changetothe "system down mode,, or the ,,control inhibition mode,,.

Kickback'1. The motor operates when the ABS is functioning. and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master cylinder,
causing kickback at the brake pedal.
2. The ABS control unit operates the solenoid valve when the brake pedal is released after the initial diagnosis You may
hear the solenoid valve operate at this time, but it is normal
Pumo Motol
1. The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning
2. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor operation during acceleration. You may hear the motor operate at this
time, but it is normal.
Brake Fluid Replacement/Ail Bleeding
L Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as for vehicles without ABS To ease bleeding, start
with the front wheels.
Troubleshooting
1. The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that the cause of the problem is still present and the ABS indicator
is still on. Following the flowchart when the ABS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect diagnosis.
2. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions
for troubleshooting.
Self-diagnosis is made at various times such as the initial diagnosis, except ABS control, during ABS control, during
acceleration, during the specified vehicle speed, etc. Therefore, the symptom canngt be checked unless the check
conditions match with the problem conditjons
3. When the ABS jndicator does not come on during the test-drive. but troubleshooting is performed based on the DTC,
check lor loose connectors, poor contact of the terminals, etc., before you start troubleshooting.
4. After troubleshooting, erase the DTC and test-drive the vehicle. Be sure the ABS indicator does not come on.
5. The connector illustratjons show the female terminals with a single outline and the male terminals with a double out-
l ne.
ABS Function Test
To simulate ABS operation and activate the solenoid valves and pump, use the Honda PGM Tester.
Connect the PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC). When the System Select menu is displayed, select the ABS
Test Mode menu, and follow the tester's prompts.
