Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes

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 detects a failure, it inform the fault codes in two ways.
- Service Reminder Indicator (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 the reading of Service Reminder Indicator (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 second) and after the following 2 seconds break second digit is determined by the number of short flashes (0.5 second)
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 second 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.

Scan Tool Check

1. Turn the ignition OFF.








2. Connect the hi-scan to the data link connector in the fuse box.
3. Connect the power-source terminal of the hi-scan to the data link connector.
4. Turn the ignition ON.
5. Use the hi-scan to check the self-diagnosis codes.
6. After completion of the repair or correction of the problems, turn OFF the ignition switch; then erase the stored diagnostic trouble codes using the clear key.
7. Disconnect the hi-scan.


Connector Check

1. Remove the battery negative (-) terminal.





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

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