Brake Pad Wear Limit Indicators - Toyota Celica 2003 Operating Manual

"ABS" warning light
The light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position. If the anti–
lock brake system works properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds. There-
after, if the system malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti–lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
When the "ABS" warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti–lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
somewhere in the parts monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
_
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, or remains on.
_
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.

A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the "ABS" warning light remains on
together with the brake system warn-
ing light, immediately stop your ve-
hicle at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the anti–lock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
DRUM–IN–DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE
SYSTEM (2ZZ–GE engine)
Your vehicle has a drum–in–disc type
parking brake system. This type of brake
system needs bedding–down of the brake
shoes periodically or whenever the parking
brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding–down.
Brake pad wear limit
indicators
The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have
checked and replaced by
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.
