ABS Verification Test
ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.WARNING: Ensure braking capability is available before road testing the vehicle.
NOTE: Always initialize the Anti-Lock Brakes Module after replacing it. Failure to do so will cause the ABS and ESP indicators to flash continuously, even though no DTCs are set in the module.
NOTE: For Sensor Signal and Pump Motor faults, the Anti-Lock Brakes Module must sense all 4 wheels at 25 km/h (15 mph) before it will extinguish the ABS Indicator.
