Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp -K32-
- If brake pad wear indicator lamp -2- does not switch off 3 seconds after the ignition is switched on or if it lights up when vehicle is driven, it could be caused by the following malfunctions:
-a- Brake pads may be worn.
Check front and rear axle brake pads/linings. Replace worn brake pads/linings.
-b- There is a wiring malfunction.

-b- There is an ABS malfunction.
The ABS system shuts off if there is malfunction -b- in the system, however the standard brake system remains fully functional.
-c- There was a periodic wheel speed sensor malfunction since the last vehicle start.
If this is the case, the ABS warning lamp will go out automatically after vehicle is started again and a speed of 20 km/h has been exceeded.
-d- The connection from instrument cluster to ABS control module -J104- is interrupted.
-e- The instrument cluster is faulty.
ABS indicator lamp -K47- and brake system indicator lamp -K118-
- If ABS warning lamp -3- goes out but brake system indicator lamp -4- lights up, the malfunctions causes may be:
-a- Parking brake is engaged.
-b- Brake fluid level is too low (warning lamp blinks).
Three warning tones are audible after switching on the ignition.
-c- There is a malfunction in the wiring to brake system warning lamp.
- If ABS indicator lamp -3- and brake system indicator lamp -4- lights up, ABS system is malfunctioning. A change in braking behavior should be checked.
After ABS indicator lamp and brake system indicator lamp light up, rear wheels may lock prematurely when braking.
Traction Control Indicator Lamp -K86-
- If traction control indicator lamp -1- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and the test sequence is complete, malfunction causes may be:
There is a malfunction present which only affects the ASR. The ABS and EBD safety systems are still completely functional β DTC memory.
-a- Short to positive in ASR/ESP button -E256-.
-b- A malfunction in activation of traction control indicator lamp -K86-.
-c- ASR system was switched off by ASR/ESP Button -E256-
If traction control indicator lamp blinks while driving, ASR system is operating in regulated mode.
- If traction control indicator lamp -1- did not light up during self-test, the following malfunction is present:
-a- the traction control indicator lamp is faulty β perform an electrical test.
ASR/ESP Indicator Lamp -K155-
