1 E-4 1 Abnormality of solenoid valve drive circuit
[Explanation]
The ABS ECU normally monitors the solenoid valve
drive circuit.
If no current flows in the solenoid even if the ECU
when turned OFF, the ECU determines the solenoidcoil wire is broken/short circuited or the harness
isbroken short circuited and then warning light lights
turns the solenoid ON or if it continues to flow even
up.
