[Comment]When power is supplied to the ABS-ECU, the valve relay changes from to OFF ON by the initial check, and thus even if there is a problem with the circuit betweenABS warning light and ABS-ECU, the light will illum inate once when the valve relayis OFF.Accordingly, the cause of the light not illuminating is probably an open circuit in the
light power circuit, a blown light bulb, or an open circuit in both the circuit between
