When the ignition key is turned to ªSTARTº, the ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.535B-17
After the ignition key is turned to ªONº, the ABS warning lamp blinks twice, and when
turned to ªSTARTº, it illuminates. When returned to ªONº, the lamp flashes once, and
then switches off.635B-17
Faulty ABS operationUnequal braking power on both sides735B-18
Insufficient braking power
ABS operates under normal braking conditions
ABS operates before vehicle stops under normal
braking conditions
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 this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
2. During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

If there are any cracks in or damage to the dust cover, replace
the pitman arm. If the dust cover is damaged accidentally
during service work, replace the dust cover only. (Refer to
