Anti-Lock - RAV4
DESCRIPTION
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of hydraulic actuator, solenoids, pump motor, ABS Electronic Control
Unit (ECU), relays, deceleration sensor (4WD) and wheel speed sensors. See Fig. 1
.
An ABS warning light is located on the instrument cluster. Warning light comes on for 3 seconds as a bulb test
when ignition is turned on. A primary check is performed after each engine start and initial vehicle speed
exceeds 6 MPH. An actuator noise is heard as vehicle is started or as speed exceeds 6 MPH. This is normal.
Anti-lock systems remains active until vehicle speed drops below 3 MPH.
