Abs Warning Light - Subaru 2011 Impreza Owner's Manual

steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible
for tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring system
is NOT a substitute for manually
checking tire pressure. The tire
pressure should be checked peri-
odically (at least monthly) using a
tire gauge. After any change to tire
pressure(s), the tire pressure mon-
itoring system will not re-check tire
inflation pressures until the vehicle
is first driven more than 20 mph (32
km/h). After adjusting the tire pres-
sures, increase the vehicle speed to
at least 20 mph (32 km/h) to start the
TPMS re-checking of the tire infla-
tion pressures. If the tire pressures
are now above the severe low
pressure threshold, the low tire
pressure warning light should turn
off a few minutes later. Therefore, be
sure to install the specified size for
the front and rear tires.

ABS warning light

The ABS warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position and turns off after approximately 2
seconds.
This is an indication that the ABS system
is working properly.
CAUTION
. If any of the following conditions
occur, we recommend that you
have the ABS system repaired at
the first available opportunity by
your SUBARU dealer.
– The warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON"
position.
– The warning light illuminates
when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position,
but it does not turn off even
when the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds approximately 12 km/h
(8 mph).
Instruments and controls
– 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.
. When the warning light is flash-
ing, the ABS system may be
malfunctioning. However, the
conventional brake system con-
tinues to operate normally.
With a vehicle equipped with an EBD
system, the ABS warning light illuminates
together with the brake system warning
light if the EBD system malfunctions. For
further details of the EBD system mal-
function warning, refer to "Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system
warning" F3-22.

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

after the engine is started but turns off
immediately, remaining off.

nated after the engine has been started,
