Self-Diagnosis Function

  1. The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub-CPU. Each CPU checks the other for problems.
  2. The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
  3. The ABS control unit turns ON the ABS indicator when the unit detects a problem and the unit stops the system.
  4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:
    • Initial diagnosis. Done right after engine starts and until ABS indicator goes OFF
    • Regular diagnosis. Done right after initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned OFF.
  5. When a problem is detected by the self-diagnosis, the system:
    • Turns the fail safe relay OFF.
    • Turns the solenoid valve OFF.
    • Turns pump motor OFF.
    • Turns ABS indicator ON.
    NOTE: See Fig 1 for self diagnostic table and operation mode table.
