Fail safe function:
When a failure occurs in the ABS system, the ABS warning light is lit and the ABS operation is prohibited. In addition
to this, when the failure which disables the EBD operation occurs, the brake warning light is lit as well and EBD
operation is prohibited. DI-210

PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Release the parking brake pedal.
(b) Check the indicator.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS
warning light and BRAKE warning light goes on for
approx. 3 seconds.
HINT:

When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake
fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light is lit.

If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trou-
bleshooting for the ABS warning light circuit or BRAKE
warning light circuit (See page DI-243, DI-240).
(c) Check the DTC.
(1) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and read the DTC from
the ABS warning light on the combination meter.
HINT:

If no codes appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS
warning light circuit (See page DI-245 or DI-243).

As an example, the blinking patterns for normal code and
codes 11 and 21 are shown on the left.
(3) Codes are explained in the code table on page
DI-215.
(4) After completing the check, disconnect terminals Tc
and E
1, and turn off the display.
If 2 or more malfunction codes are identified at the
same time, the lowest numbered DTC will be dis-
played 1st.

BRAKE Warning Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The BRAKE warning light lights up when the brake fluid is insufficient, when the parking brake is ap-
plied or when the EBD is defective.

If the translate ECU detects trouble, it makes VSC warning light lights up while prohibiting VSC & TRAC
control. At this time, the ECU records a DTC in memory. Connect terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC1 or
DLC2 to make BRAKE warning light blink and output the DTC.

cuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The brake fluid level warning switch sends appropriate signals to the ECU when the brake fluid level is low-
ered.
HINT:
Depressing the parking brake pedal turns on the brake warning light, but this DTC No. C1202/44 is not out-
put.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
