The instrument cluster controls the operation of the ABS indicator. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) reports the desired status of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator via serial data messages.
The malfunction must be present during diagnosis in order to prevent unnecessary parts replacement. Always begin diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information.
