FAULT FINDING

MAIN CODESUB CODESYMPTOM/DIAGNOSISPROBABLE CAUSE
7 1 Solenoid:
Right – front
Fail – safe relay stuck OFF.
  1. Open circuit in solenoid drive circuit between engine compartment ABS fuse/relay box and ABS control unit.
  2. Short circuit to body earth in solenoid drive circuit between solenoid and ABS control unit.
Faulty solenoid drive transistor (ON) in ABS control unit.
7 2 Left – front
7 4 Rear
Each solenoid valve is momentarily activated at initial diagnosis and when the engine is started. ABS indicator light illuminates when battery voltage is detected at solenoid terminal.
ABS indicator light is illuminated when 0V is detected at solenoid terminal and solenoid OFF signal is detected during regular diagnosis.
  1. Short circuit to power in solenoid drive circuit between solenoid and ABS control unit.
  2. Faulty solenoid drive transistor (OFF) in ABS control unit.
  3. Short circuit to power in drive circuit inside solenoid.
  4. Short circuit to outlet circuit in inlet circuit between solenoid and ABS control unit.
Symptom does not reappear:
Intermittent interruption in solenoid valve drive circuit.
Intermittent interruption in solenoid valve earth circuit.
Intermittent interruption in fail – safe relay circuit.

Faulty ABS control unit.
Symptom does not reappear:
No problem.
8 4 IC (integrated circuit)
ABS indicator illuminates if any integrated circuit abnormalities are detected during regular diagnosis.
