NOTE
[These are not signs of ABS malfunction]
•
Soon after you start the engine and the vehicle starts moving, a motor sound
may be heard from the rear of the vehicle or underside of the cab. This sound is
from a self-check by the ABS system and is normal.
•
When ABS is properly operating, vibration is felt on the steering wheel or a
mechanical operating sound is heard.
•
When ABS is activated while the exhaust brake is in operation, the exhaust
brake may disengage.
•
ABS is more likely to activate when the brakes are applied during cornering or
driving over a bump. This is because inside wheels or wheels that have gone
over the bump tend to lock.
•
ABS is not activated immediately after starting the vehicle. It is activated only
when the vehicle speed reaches approx. 10 km/h (6 MPH). ABS operation is
inactive when the vehicle speed reduces to approx. 5 km/h (3 MPH).
•
ABS stands for Anti-lock Brake System.
