Reading and clearing ABS fault codes
Fault codes for ABS consist of two groups of flashes. The first group indicates the faulty component and the type of fault, while the second group indicates the fault location. There is a 1.5 second interval between the two groups. To read the fault codes, follow the steps below:
- Turn on the ignition switch.
- When the ABS malfunction indicator light illuminates and remains illuminated, press and hold down the troubleshooting indicator switch for 1 second.
- Observe the number of times the light flashes.
If there is more than one ABS fault, the malfunction indicator will display the fault codes of the second set of flashes 4 seconds after the fault codes of the first set have been completed. All flashing codes are displayed in the same way.
To clear the fault codes, proceed as follows
- Press and hold the diagnostic button for flashing DTCs for 1 second.
- If the flashing DTCs are displayed repeatedly (the display only goes off when the ignition switch is turned off), this indicates a current fault or multiple faults that need to be repaired. This is called a “current fault”.
- The indicator may display fault codes in different ways, for example, it may display only one fault code once before the light goes out. This is known as a “stored fault” indication.
Stored faults can be divided into two types: one where the fault has been rectified but the fault code remains in the ECU’s memory, and the other where a fault has occurred but there is currently no problem. For example, an intermittent wire contact may have caused a fault, but there is currently no problem. Stored faults only relate to past faults and do not require any practical repairs. After completing any repairs, it is important to clear the fault codes from the memory.
To clear fault codes from memory
- Press and hold the diagnostic button for flashing DTCs for 3 seconds, then release.
- If the fault light flashes 8 times rapidly followed by 2 flashes, this means that the DTC has been completely cleared from memory, indicating that there is no current fault.
- If the fault light only flashes 2 times without the rapid 8 flashes, this indicates a current fault in the ABS which requires repair.
