Diagnosis System

  1. DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION 

    On the combination meter, the BRAKE warning light (Red), BRAKE warning light ((Yellow) Brake Control warning light), ABS warning light or VSC warning light come on to inform the driver if trouble occurs in the skid control ECU input signal or actuator system. If there is trouble in the oil pressure source (pump motor, accumulator) or the vehicle power supply is insufficient, the skid control buzzer sounds to warn the driver.
