ABS/TCS Indicator
• If the system is OK, the ABS and TCS indicators go off
2 seconds after t u r n i n g the ignition switch ON (II).
• The ABS and TCS indicators come on w h e n the A B S /
TCS control unit detects a p r o b l e m in the system.
However, even t h o u g h the system is operating

- The vehicle goes into a spin.
- The ABS or TCS continues t o operate for a long
t i m e .
- The vehicle is subject to an electrical signal
disturbance.
To determine the actual cause of the p r o b l e m , question
the customer about the conditions w h e n the problem
occured, taking the above conditions into consideration.

• The indicator flashes w h i l e the TCS system is active.
• W h e n a p r o b l e m is detected and the ABS indicator
comes o n , but not the TCS indicator, there are cases
w h e n the indicator stays on until the ignition switch is
turned OFF, and cases w h e n the indicator goes off
automatically w h e n the system returns to n o r m a l .
