Most trailers manufactured prior to February 1998
require that the brakes be applied to operate the
ABS warning lamp. If the warning lamp stays on
when the brakes are applied to a moving vehicle,
service the ABS system.
What does the trailer ABS warning lamp mean to
service personnel?
The trailer ABS warning lamp indicates the status
of the trailer ABS. If it comes ON and stays ON
when you apply the brakes to a moving vehicle,
there is an ABS malfunction. It is normal for the
lamp to come ON and go OFF to perform a bulb
check, but it should not stay ON when the vehicle
is moving above 4 mph. As with any safety system, 1 Prior to March 1, 1998

Section 3
ABS Questions and Answers
Can you continue to operate a vehicle when the
warning lamp indicates a fault?
Yes. When a fault exists in the ABS, standard
braking returns to the affected wheel, and the ABS
still controls other monitored wheels. This lets you
complete the trip. You should not ignore the
warning lamp and should have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible after the lamp
comes ON and stays ON.
Types of Faults
What is a “fault” in the system?
A fault in the system is a problem that can exist in
the ABS or in the system’s components. Faults
can be either existing faults or intermittent
stored faults.
What is an existing fault?
An existing fault is a problem that exists currently
in the system. For example, a damaged sensor
cable is an existing fault that the ECU will detect
and store into memory until you identify the cause,
repair the cable and clear the fault from the ECU.
What is an intermittent fault?
An intermittent fault is a problem that usually
occurs only under certain driving conditions. For
example, the ECU may detect a loose cable or wire
or receive an erratic signal from a wheel sensor.
Since intermittent faults can be unpredictable and
may only happen periodically, you can use
information stored in ECU memory to find and
correct the loose cable or wire.
Is an intermittent fault difficult to locate
and repair?
It can be, because you may not be able to easily
see the cause of the problem. WABCO
recommends that you write down intermittent
faults to help you isolate a fault that recurs over a
period of time.
Can the ECU store more than one fault
in memory?
Yes. And the ECU retains existing and intermittent
faults in memory even when you turn OFF the
power to the ECU.
