Brakes and Traction Control: Testing and Inspection


Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the diagnostics function of the ABS ECU monitors the system for faults. In addition, the return pump is tested by pulsing it briefly immediately after the engine starts provided vehicle speed exceeded 4.4 mph (7 km/h) during the previous ignition cycle. If a fault is detected at any time, the ABS ECU stores a related fault code in memory and illuminates the appropriate warning lamps in the instrument pack. If a fault exists in a warning lamp circuit, the lamp will not illuminate during the lamp check at ignition on, but, provided there are no other faults, the related function will otherwise be fully operational.
