Accessing Codes

The ABS Warning Lamp outputs a two-part blink code. To
interpret the blink code, record the number of flashes in
each part and compare with the Gen-4

or Gen-5

ABS

charts.

On Gen-4

ABS systems, the first part of the flash sequence

indicates the configuration, while the second part of the flash
sequence indicates any fault codes that exist.

Example: A blink code of three flashes, a pause, then three
more flashes (3-3) indicates a 4S-2M side control
configuration with a fault on Sensor B.

On Gen-5

ABS systems, both the configuration codes and

the fault codes are reported separately as two-part blink
codes. There are different procedures for retrieving
configuration and fault codes. Refer to the retrieving codes
section of this manual.

Example: A blink code of one flash, a pause, then one
more flash (1-1) indicates a 2S-1M system configuration
when retrieving configuration codes. However, 1-1 indicates
No Trouble Found when retrieving fault codes.
