Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: ABS Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on.

  • The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connectors are disconnected from the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid).
  • There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) internal circuit.
  • There is an open in the harness between the combination meter assembly and skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid).
  • The anti-lock brake system is defective.
  • The voltage at terminal IG1 is high.
  • The rear differential is locked.

HINT:

It may not be possible to use the Techstream when the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) is abnormal.
