Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: ABS Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication. If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on:

  • The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector is disconnected from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
  • There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) internal circuit.
  • There is an open in the harness between the combination meter and skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
  • The ABS is defective.

HINT:

In some cases, the Techstream cannot be used when the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is abnormal.
