If any failure occurs in ABS system, then the fail-
safe circuit turns off the relay that supplies electricity
to solenoid valve, stopping the control signal output,
lighting the warning lamp at the same time to inform
ABS failure to driver.
Even in this condition, the basic hydraulic brake
function is always available to the driver, just like in
a vehicle without ABS system.
Under normal condition, with the ignition switch on,
the ABS warning light comes 'ON' and then goes
'OFF' after about 2 seconds. If it does not go 'OFF'
after this time, or light comes 'ON' when the engine is
running or light comes 'ON' at any other time, it means
that there is a fault in ABS system components.
If the warning light does not come on, the fault should
be sought in the electrical connections (for ignition
switch, ECU), fuse or warning lamp.
