    OK: 

    The connector should be securely connected. 

    NG: CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK DTC FOR ABS 
    1. Are the DTCs recorded? (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR )

    NO:  Go to step  4

    YES: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC 

  4. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT 
    1. WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:

      4. Check that "ON" and "OFF" of the BRAKE warning light are indicated on the combination meter when using the intelligent tester.

      OK: 

      The BRAKE warning light turns on or off in accordance with the intelligent tester. 

    2. WHEN NOT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
      1. Turn the ignition switch off.
      2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
      3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      4. Check that the BRAKE warning light.

      OK: 

      The brake warning light comes on. 

      NG:  Go to step  5

      OK: REPLACE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
