Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp -K32-Β
- If the 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 malfunction in the wire routing. 3 the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS information.
ABS Warning Lamp -K47-Β
- If the ABS warning lamp -3- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and the test sequence is complete, it could be caused by the following errors:
-a- Voltage supply is under 10 volts.
-b- There is an ABS malfunction.
The ABS system remains switched off during an ABS malfunction -b-, but the traditional 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- Connection from instrument cluster to ABS Control Module -J104- has an open circuit. Refer to the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS information.
-e- The instrument cluster is faulty.
