ALP5Unexpected ABS operation at low speed and with slight pedal
pressure
NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Important: ABS regulation is sensitive on slippery surfaces (ice, wet cobbled
streets, etc.).
Brake pedal vibrations associated with the reactions of the system may be felt in
particular circumstances, such as:
–Crossing speed bumps.
–Tight cornering with lifting of the inside rear wheel.
These vibrations also may be linked merely to activation of the Braking distributor
function, when the pressure on the rear axle is limited.
Check the conformity of the mechanical components (see MR 411, Mechanical,
30A, General information, Brake, Specifications).
If the fault is not one of the situations indicated above, check the correct connection of the wheel speed sensors,
the air gap between these sensors and the magnetic targets.
Refer to the interpretation of fault DF063 Wheel speed consistency.

ALP 13 Faulty brake light illumination
NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Using the diagnostic tool, check the consistent status ET017 "Brake pedal" for pedal pressed and pedal
released.
If inconsistent, apply the fault finding procedure for status ET017 Brake pedal.
If the lights come on continuously, check the operation of component 1281 using command AC187 Brake light
activation relay. The brake lights must light only when the command is run.
Otherwise, with component 1281 removed, check the continuity between connections 65A and 65G of
component 1281.
If continuity is not guaranteed, replace component 1281.
