01_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0009) (g) "ABS" Warning Light The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the anti − lock brake system works properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti −lock brake system the traction control system (two−wheel drive vehicles), the active traction control system (four −wheel drive vehicles) and the vehicle skid control system do not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti −lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. (h) Vehicle Skid Control System/Traction Control System (two−wheel drive models) or Active Traction Control System (four −wheel drive models) Warning Lights These lights warn that there is a problem somewhere in the vehicle skid control system and traction control system (two− wheel drive models) or active traction control system (four −wheel drive models). If the "VSC/TRAC" warning light and "TRAC OFF" (two−wheel drive models) or "VSC OFF" (four −wheel drive models) indicator light come on, have your vehicle checked by Toyota dealer as soon as possible. However, there is no problem when the "VSC/TRAC" warning light comes on when the brake actuator temperature becomes high. (For details, see "Traction control system" on page 140 and "Active traction control" on page 142 in Section 1−6.) The lights will come on when the ignition key turned to "ON", and will go off after a few seconds. D The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, or remains on. D The light comes on while you are driving. A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem. CAUTION If the "ABS" warning light remains on together with the brake system warning light, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer. In this case, not only the anti−lock brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking. 128 2001 SEQUOIA (OM34414U)
