The EBCM controls ABS indicator illumination by supplying ground to the ABS indicator failure control circuit. The ABS indicator failure control circuit has a feedback path to the EBCM microprocessor. The feedback voltage is low when the indicator is commanded on.
The ignition is ON.
The ABS indicator failure control circuit feedback voltage is high when the ABS indicator is commanded on.
If an ABS disabling DTC sets, the EBCM illuminates the BRAKE indicator.
