Abs Initialization

System initialization starts when the key is turned to "run". At this point, the CAB performs a complete self-check of all electrical components in the antilock systems.

Between 8-17 km/h (5-10 mph), a dynamic test is performed. This will momentarily cycle the inlet and outlet valves, check wheel speed sensor circuitry, and run the pump motor at 25 km/h (15 mph). The CAB will try to test the pump motor. If the brake pedal is applied the test will be run at 40 km/h (24 mph) regardless of brake switch state. If, during the dynamic test, the brake pedal is applied, the driver may feel the test through brake pedal pulsations. This is a normal condition.

If any component exhibits a trouble condition during system initialization or dynamic check, the CAB will illuminate the ABS warning indicator and TRAC OFF lamp if equipped.
