(4) Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may light
the warning light and sound the buzzer.
HINT:
S If the ECU stores DTC, ABS or VSC TRAC indicator light
is ON.
S If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trou-
bleshooting for the circuits of the ABS, BRAKE warning
lights,VSC or TRAC OFF, SLIP, center diff. lock indicator
lights.

(b) Check the deceleration sensor.
Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level place
for 1 sec. or more.
(c) Check the master cylinder pressure sensor.
Leaving the vehicle in a stationary condition and the
brake pedal in free condition for 1 sec. or more, continue
to depress the brake pedal with the force of 98 N (10 kgf,
22 lbf) or more for 1 sec. or more.
HINT:
At this time, the ABS warning light goes on for 3 sec.

center diff. lock switch ON.
(2) Shift the transfer lever to H4 position.
(f) Check the speed sensor signal.
Drive the vehicle straight forward.
Drive the vehicle with a speed faster than 45 km/h (28
mph) for several seconds. Check that the ABS warning
light comes off.
HINT:
