Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

- If you miscount the blinking frequency or if you recheck the blinking frequency, turn the ignition switch OFF then turn it ON (Ill to cycle the ABS indicator light again.

4. Remove the SCS service connector.

NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will stay on after the engine is started if the SCS service connector is connected.

5. Remove the ABS B2 (15 A) fuse in the under-hood ABS fuse/relay box for at least three seconds to erase the ABS control unit's memory.
