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.
Circuit Description
If ABS/TRAC ECU detects a system malfunction, ABS/TRAC ECU illuminates ABS warning light while at the same time prohibiting ABS control. At this time, ABS/TRAC ECU records a DTC in memory. Connecting terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1 or DLC2 causes ABS warning light to blink and output a DTC. On 2000 models, terminals Tc and CG of DLC3 may also be used. See Figure.
