ABS Warning Indicator

This light illuminates for approximately 1 second when the Ignition switch is turned to position II, and then briefly extinguishes before coming on again. The warning indicator will then remain illuminated until the vehicle is driven above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h). If the light does not extinguish or illuminates again then a fault has occurred with the ABS system.

If the light remains illuminated once a speed of 5 mph (7km/h) has been reached, or subsequently illuminates whilst driving, a fault has been detected by the self-monitoring system. The message centre will display 'ABS FAULT'.

The ABS System is interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).
