CAUTION: Do not depress the brake pedal after the ignition switch is turned "ON." If the brake pedal is depressed while the ABS is inoperative and the ignition switch is "ON," the ABS warning light will remain on. Because of this, diagnostic trouble codes will not be read out.
Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Read out a diagnostic trouble code by observing how the warning light flashes.
