  2. Short the SCS circuit to body ground using the HDS.
  3. Press the brake pedal.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) while continuing to press the brake pedal.
  5. After the ABS indicator goes off, release the brake pedal.
  6. After the ABS indicator comes on, press the brake pedal again.
  7. After the ABS indicator goes off, release the brake pedal.

    You cannot clear the DTC unless these conditions are met:

    • The vehicle speed is 6 mph (10 km/h) or less.
    • The SCS circuit is shorted to body ground before the ignition switch is turned ON (II).
    • The brake pedal is pressed before the ignition switch is turned ON (II).
  8. After a few seconds, the ABS indicator blinks twice and the DTC is cleared. If the indicator does not blink twice, repeat steps  1 thru  7. If the ABS indicator stays on after it blinks twice, check the DTC, because a problem was detected during initial diagnosis before shifting to DTC clearing mode.
  9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  10. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
