Large brake pedal vibration (Caution 2.)
Caution
1.if steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of thi s, when getting information from the customer,
check if the occurred driving under such conditions as these.
2.During ABS operation, changes in the feeling of the brake (vibration may occur or
may not be able to be depressed). Such changes are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic
pressure inside the brake line to prevent the from locking, and is considered normal.

ABS warning light does not illuminate
[Comment]When power is supplied to the ABS-ECU, the valve relay changes from to ON by the initial check, and thus even if there is a problem with the circuit between
ABS light and ABS-ECU, the light will illuminate once when the valve relay
is OFF.
Accordingly, the cause of the light not illuminatin g is probably an open circuit in the
light power circuit, a blown light bulb, or an open circuit in both the circuit between
the ABS
light and the ABS-ECU and the circuit between the ABS light and the ABS valve relay.When other lights also do not illuminate, the cause is probably a blown fuse.
