Turn ignition on without starting engine. Observe ABS warning light. If light is on continuously, go to QUICK TEST QT-4 . If light is not on, check 15-amp METER fuse and ABS warning light bulb. If fuse and bulb are okay, go to PINPOINT TEST WL-1 . If light is flashing, ensure DLC terminals TBS and GND are not jumped or shorted to ground. See Figure . If light glows 1.5 seconds before going out, go to PINPOINT TEST G-1 .

NOTE: Some ABS faults require that vehicle be driven in order for warning light to come on. Other faults will cause light to come on each time engine is started.
