Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Abs/EBD System
In case of an electrical malfunction with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of an electrical malfunction with the EBD system, the brake warning lamp and the ABS warning lamp will turn on.
The system will revert to one of the following conditions of the Fail-Safe function.
- For ABS malfunction, only the EBD is operative and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of vehicles without ABS system.
- For EBD malfunction, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without ABS or EBD system.
