DABS warning light blinks once after the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. It
Lilluminates in the “START” position and blinks once again when turned to the “ON” position.
[Explanation]
1 sec. while itharness between the ECU and the warning light, the
light illuminates only when the valve relay is off in
performs a valve relay test. If there is a break in the
the valve relay test, etc.

POINTS IN WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT
Symptom
Too small or zero waveform
amplitudeProbable causes
Faulty wheel speed sensorRemedy
Replace sensor
Incorrect pole piece-to-rotor clearance
Adjust clearance
Waveform amplitude fluctuates
excessively (this is no problem ifAxle hub eccentric or with large runout

or more)
Noisy or disturbed waveformOpen circuit in sensor
Open circuit in harness
Incorrectly mounted wheel speed sensor
Rotor with missing or damaged teethReplace sensor
Correct harness
Mount correctly
Replace rotor
NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

INSPECTION BY USING BRAKE FORCE TESTER
NOTE
(1) The brake force tester roller and tire must be dry during the
test.
(2) When testing the front brakes, apply the parking brake and
when testing the rear brakes, apply chocks to the front
wheels to lock them.
(I) Place the front or rear wheels on the brake force tester
roller.(2) Set the MUT through the adapter harness
(MB9913771 as
illustrated.
(3) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
(The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the
-MUTmode. In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.)
(4) Operate the brake force tester roller.
(5) Depress the brake pedal until the brake force tester
indicates the following value and keep the brake force at
this level during the test.
Front wheels: 1,000 N (220
Ibs.)Rear wheels: 650 N (143
Ibs.)(6) Allow the brake tester indication to stabilize before operat-
ing the MUT to perform actuator test (Item No. 01,
02, 03).
Then, read change of tester indication.
Referring to the following “Judgement in Inspection by
Using Brake Force Tester” table, judge and take corrective
action if necessary.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

REMEDY IN CASE OF DISCHARGED BATTERY
M35FOAQIf the engine is jump-started, because of a completely
discharged battery, the vehicle may suffer misfiring and fail to
start if an attempt is made to start without allowing the battery
to recover sufficiently. This is because the ABS consumes a
great deal of current for its self check. In such a case, allow the
battery to sufficiently charge or remove the ABS power relay in
the engine compartment to disable the ABS. Removing the
ABS causes the ABS warning light to light. After the battery is
charged sufficiently, install the power relay and restart the
engine to check that the ABS warning light goes out.
INSPECTION OF VALVE RELAY AND MOTOR
RELAY (ABS)M35FOAR1. Remove the splash shield
(FR) and remove the relay box
cover by inserting a screwdriver between the hydraulic unit
and cover to pry off the lock.
2.Remove the relays. The one closest to you (larger one) is
the motor relay and the one farthest from you (smaller one)
is the valve relay.

INSPECTION OF ACTIVE AERO SYSTEM
1. INSPECTION BY WARNING LIGHT
d!Turn the ignition switch from “OFF” to “ON” to see if the
warning light is lit for approx. three seconds and then goes
out. If not, replace the control unit.
NOTE
(1) The active aero control unit has a self-check function
which is designed as follows: Turn the ignition switch
from “OFF” to “ON”. If the unit is in normal condition,
the warning light is lit for approx. three seconds and
then goes out.
(2) If the front venturi skirt does not return to the standard
condition properly in normal use, the warning light
comes on
2. INSPECTION BY ACTIVE AERO SWITCH AT AUTO 2
(1) With the vehicle stopped, insert the key in the ignition
key cylinder.
(2) Set the active aero switch to AUTO 2 to make sure that
the active aero system is placed in the operative
condition and the indicator light comes on. Then turn off
the active aero switch to confirm that the system
LCJreturns to the standard condition and the indicator light
goes out.
(3) If there is abnormality, check the following parts.
l Active aero switch
l Lighting monitor switch
l Air dam link assembly and rear spoiler
l Wiring harness
3. INSPECTION WITH MULTI-USE TESTER
Using pseudo vehicle speed input function of the multi-use
tester, inspection can be made by means of vehicle speed.
(1) Set the multi-use tester to the diagnosis connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “ON”.
(3) Place the active aero switch to AUTO 1.
(4) Using the multi-use tester, increase the vehicle speed
to approx. 80 km/h (50 mph) or more to make sure that
the active aero system is placed to the operative
condition. Then decrease the vehicle speed to approx.
50 km/h (30 mph) or less to confirm that the system
returns to the standard condition.
