Baja F4-2.5L SOHC (2003)
ABS Light: Testing and Inspection
With VDC
Warning Light Illumination Pattern
INSPECTION
1. When the warning and/or indicator lights do not illuminate in accordance with this illumination pattern, there must be an electrical malfunction.
2. When the warning and/or indicator lights remain constantly OFF, repair the warning and/or indicator lights circuit or diagnosis circuit. <Ref. to
ABS WARNING LIGHT, VDC WARNING LIGHT, VDC OPERATING INDICATOR LIGHT OR VDC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT DOES
NOT COME ON., Diagnostics Chart with Diagnosis Connector.>
NOTE:
^
Even though the ABS warning light does not go out 1.5 seconds after it illuminates, the VDC system operates normally when the warning light
goes out while driving at approximately 12 km/h (7 MPH). However, the Anti-lock brakes do not work while the ABS warning light is
illuminated.
^
It may take a few minutes for the VDC OFF indicator light to go out when the vehicle is exposed for some time in a low temperature area. This
is not a problem because of low engine coolant temperatures.
^
If a vehicle wheel is stuck or free-spinning for approximately 1 minute, power transfer fluctuation to the remaining wheels will occur. Power
transfer conditions will differ from those occurring during normal vehicle operation. The ABS sensor will detect this condition. The ABS and
VDC warning lights will illuminate. If the vehicle is operated with the four wheels lifted off the ground or with the four wheels placed on
rollers, the VDCCM will detect a problem with the speed sensor and the ABS and VDC warning lights may illuminate. In this case, there is no
abnormality. Clear the diagnostic code from memory.
^
When the engine is started and vehicle movement begins, the VDCH/U motor pump and solenoid valve will operate for a few seconds. This
permits checking of VDC function. Normal motor pump and solenoid valve operational noise will be heard. Normal brake pedal kick back will
be felt when the brake pedal is depressed. In this case, there is no abnormality.
