ABS Indicator Malfunction

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) momentarily illuminates the antilock brake system (ABS) indicator during the bulb check when the ignition is cycled ON. When the electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a fault requiring ABS indicator ON, it sends the signal to the IPC to illuminate the ABS indicator.

1. With a scan tool, command the IPC display test ON and OFF. The ABS indicator should turn ON and OFF.

⇒	If the ABS indicator does not turn ON and OFF when commanded, inspect the IPC.

2. If the IPC is normal, replace the EBCM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
