*1: If one or more wheels spin on a rough or slippery road for 40 seconds or more, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate. This does not
indicate a malfunction. Only in the case of the short-circuit (Code Nos. 26, 22, 32 and 36), after repair the ABS warning lamp also illu-
minates when the ignition switch is turned ON. In this case, drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approxi-
mately 1 minute as specified in ªSELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDUREº, BR-41. Check to ensure that the ABS warning lamp goes out while
the vehicle is being driven.
*2: The trouble code ª57º, which refers to a low power supply voltage, does not indicate that the ABS control unit is malfunctioning. Do
not replace the ABS control unit with a new one.
