Safety precautions and fundamental points regarding fault finding
  • ◆ The ABS is a vehicle safety system; the appropriate knowledge is necessary to work on the system.
  • ◆ In order to check complaints and to be able to carry out pin-pointed fault finding, the fault memory must be interrogated before commencing work on the ABS system.
  • ◆ Only separate connectors when the ignition is switched off.
  • ◆ Observe the appropriate instructions regarding the handling of brake fluid.

=> Brake systems; Repair group 47

=> Special Information, Running gear No. 21

  • ◆ ABS faults are indicated by the ABS warning lamp lighting up. Certain faults will only be recognised at speeds above 20 km/h (approx. 13 mph) (carry out road test).
  • ◆ If the ABS -K47- and the brake system -K118- warning lamps do not light up, but the brake system is not functioning correctly then the fault must be sought in the conventional braking system.
