Without Scan Tool

SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS STEP INDICATOR CHECK





When the ignition switch is turned on, check that the ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) goes ON for 6 seconds.
If the SRI is not illuminated immediately after ignition on, the ABS fail safe relay may be at fault.

SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS STEP





The ABS Control Module (ABSCM) continuously checks the state of the electrical integrity of ABS and if it detects a failure, it informs the fault codes in two ways.
- SRI lamp flash code
- Scan tool diagnosis code.

SRI CODE CHECK

With the ignition switch turned ON and "L" terminal of data link connector shorted to ground, diagnostic trouble code No. can be checked, if faults are detected, with reading of SRI lamp flash.





1. Ground the "L" terminal (Pin No.15) of data link connector with suitable wire, otherwise fault code cannot be accessed.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.





3. SRI lamp will be illuminated for 2 seconds and followed by 3 seconds illumination meaning "Check-in" signal then read the following "Diagnostic trouble code".
4. First digit of Diagnostic trouble code is determined by the number of long flashes (1.5 sec.) and after the following 2 seconds break second digit is determined by the number of short flashes (0.5 sec.)
5. Once the SRI lamp flashing is completed, next active trouble code or history trouble code stored at ABS Control Module (ABSCM) will be followed after 3 sec. break while the "L" terminal is shorted to ground or the ignition switch is ON.





6. Diagnostic Trouble code will be retained in the ABSCM until the ignition has been switched ON and the vehicle speed exceeded 8 km/h 20 times.

CONNECTOR CHECK

1. Remove the battery negative (-) terminal.





2. Disconnect the connectors and check the terminals follow the troubleshooting procedure.

NOTE: When you check terminals, be sure to use a small enough pin so as not to damage the connector terminals.
