When Ignition Key Is Turned ON (engine OFF), The ABS Warning Lamp Does Not Light Up

Trouble SymptomsPossible Cause
When current flows in the HECU the ABS warning lamp turns from ON to OFF as the initial check. Therefore if the lamp does not light up, the cause may be an open in the lamp power supply circuit, a blown bulb, an open in the both circuits between the ABS warning lamp and the HECU, and the faulty HECU.Faulty ABS warning lamp bulb Blown fuse is related to ABS in the engine compartment junction block Faulty ABS warning lamp module Faulty HECU

Trouble SymptomsPossible Cause
If the HECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning lamp while at the same time prohibiting ABS control. At this time, the HECU records a DTC in memory. Even though the normal code is output, the ABS warning lamp remains ON, then the cause may be probably an open or short in the ABS warning lamp circuit.An open in the wire Faulty instrument cluster assembly Faulty ABS warning lamp module Faulty HECU

Measuring Principle

The split of the steering angle sensor detects a steering angle of the steering wheel by a ON/OFF pulse caused by whether or not the LED lights go through the hole of the split, rotating as the steering wheel revolves. There are three LEDs, two(ST1, ST2) for detecting a steering direction, and the other for the neutral position. The HECU calculates the steering angle by the pulse from the steering angle sensor.
