when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position,
but it does not turn off even
after the vehicle is started.
The warning light illuminates
during driving.
. When the warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is
off), the ABS function shuts
down. However, the conventional
brake system continues to oper-
ate normally.
The ABS warning light illuminates to-
gether with the brake system warning light
if the EBD system malfunctions. For
further details of the EBD system mal-
function warning, refer to

NOTE
If the warning light behavior is as
described in the following conditions,
the ABS may be considered normal.

the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position and turns off approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the engine has

immediately, remaining off.

When driving with an insufficient battery
voltage such as when the engine is jump
started, the ABS warning light may illumi-
nate. This is due to the low battery voltage
and does not indicate a malfunction.
When the battery becomes fully charged,
the light will turn off.

erly, do not drive the vehicle.
