Fail-Safe

ABS SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ABS switches to the fail-safe mode.

  • In case of a malfunction with ABS, the result of a fail-safe mode will be normal braking without the aid of ABS.

NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition because a self-diagnosis for "Ignition switch ON" and "The first starting" are being performed.

CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, then perform self-diagnosis for ABS control system.
