Check ABS System
Note: For further information refer to literature in Func-
tion Group 5.
To do the brake test safely, ensure there are no other
vehicles within 300 yards when testing, or perform the
test in a off-road area where there is no traffic. Per-
forming a brake test in traffic may lead to an accident,
and cause personal injury or death.
Check the ABS system by attempting to lock up the
wheels during hard braking. The vehicle should come to
a controlled stop. Brake from a speed of 50 to 55 km/h
(30 to 35 mph). Make a full brake application.
Note: The rear wheels may lock intermittently while driv-
ing unloaded under 30 km/h (20 mph) even when
equipped with ABS brakes. This is normal in unloaded
operation.
Also check that the ABS telltale indicator comes on and
goes out at approximately 8 km/h (5 mph).
