Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
ABS AND TCS (ASR) INDICATORSThis system is equipped with an ABS warning indicator, TCS (ASR) warning indicator, and TCS (ASR) event indicator to alert the driver of a malfunction/event it has detected. The CAB can request the illumination of the ABS warning indicator, TCS (ASR) warning indicator, and TCS (ASR) event indicator via CAN C BUS. The CAB controls the ABS warning indicator by:
- Light steady during an initial test at the beginning of an ignition cycle to function as a bulb check
- Light steady when a system malfunction exists (DTC)
- Light steady If you have not meet the speed required to reset/retest the ABS components
The Instrument Cluster (IC) controls the indicators. The Instrument Cluster transmits a message over the CAN C Bus relating to diagnostics and current lamp status for the ABS and TCS (ASR) indicators. The CAB can control the operation of TCS warning and TCS event indicators by:
- Both light steady with engine off and both go out with engine running
- TCS warning indicator lights steady when a TCS malfunction exists
- TCS event indicator will flash when TCS is in an active event
