Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp --
- If brake pad wear indicator lamp -- -2- does not switch off 3 seconds after the ignition is switched on or if it lights up when vehicle is driven, it could be caused by the following malfunctions:
-a- Brake pads may be worn.
Check front and rear axle brake pads/linings. Replace worn brake pads/linings.
-b- There is a wiring malfunction. => appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information.
ABS Indicator Lamp --
- If ABS indicator lamp -- -3- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and the test sequence is complete, it could be caused by the following errors:
-a- Voltage supply is under 10 volts.
-b- There is an ABS malfunction.
The ABS system shuts off if there is malfunction -b- in the system, however the standard brake system remains fully functional.
-c- There was a periodic wheel speed sensor malfunction since the last vehicle start.
If this is the case, the ABS warning lamp will go out automatically after vehicle is started again and a speed of 20 km/h has been exceeded.
-d- The connection from instrument cluster to ABS control module -J104- is interrupted. => appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information
-e- The instrument cluster is faulty.
ABS Indicator Lamp -- and Brake System Warning Lamp --
- If ABS indicator lamp -- -3- goes out but brake system warning lamp -- -4- lights up, the malfunctions causes may be:
-a- parking brake is engaged.
-b- brake fluid level is too low (warning lamp blinks).
Three warning tones are audible after switching on the ignition.
-c- There is a malfunction in the wiring to brake system warning lamp --. => appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information.
- If ABS indicator lamp -- -3- and brake system warning lamp -- -4- lights up, ABS system is malfunctioning. A change in braking behavior should be checked.
After ABS indicator lamp -- and brake system warning lamp -- light up, rear wheels may lock prematurely when braking.
Traction Control Indicator Lamp --
- If Traction Control Indicator Lamp -- -1- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and the test sequence is complete, malfunction causes may be:
There is a malfunction present which only affects the ASR. The ABS and EBD safety systems are still completely functional → DTC memory.
-a- Short to positive (+) in ASR/ESP button -E256-.
-b- a malfunction in activation of traction control indicator lamp -- => appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information
-c- ASR system was switched off by ASR/ESP button --
If traction control indicator lamp -- blinks while driving, ASR system is operating in regulated mode.
- If traction control indicator lamp -- -1- did not light up during self-test, the following malfunction is present:
-a- The traction control indicator lamp -- is faulty → perform an electrical test.
ASR/ESP Indicator Lamp --
- If the ASR/ESP indicator lamp -- -1- does not turn off after the ignition is switched on and the test sequence is completed, the malfunction may be:
There is a malfunction present which only affects the ASR/ESP. The ABS/EDL and EBD safety systems are still completely functional → check DTC memory.
-a- Short circuit to B+ in ASR/ESP button --.
-b- A malfunction in the actuation of ASR/ESP indicator lamp -- => appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information.
-c- ASR/ESP system was switched off by ASR/ESP button --
If ASR/ESP indicator lamp -- flashes while driving, the ASR or ESP systems are regulating the system.
- If the ASR/ESP indicator lamp -- -1- did not light up during self-test, the following malfunction is present:
-a- the ASR/ESP indicator lamp -- is faulty → perform an electrical test.
