Inspection procedures
Problem verification
- Disconnect the connector from the ABS control module and turn the ignition switch ON.
- Does the ABS warning lamp light up?
YES
- Inspect again after replacing the ABS HECU.
NO
- Check the power source for the ABS warning lamp.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
