ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system component parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time and indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and DTC) through the ABS warning lamp as described.

When ignition switch is turned ON, ABS warning lamp lights for 2 seconds to check its circuit.
When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in good condition), ABS warning lamp turns OFF after 2 seconds.
When an abnormality in the system is detected, ABS warning lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.

When connecting SUZUKI scan tool to DLC or short-circuit between diag. switch terminals of monitor connector, the abnormal area is output as DTC. It is indicated by flashing of ABS warning lamp or indicated DTC No. on SUZUKI scan tool. (Refer to ABS WARNING LAMP OPERATION table.)
