'04 Rav4_U (L/O 0403) "ABS" warning light (without vehicle stability control system) The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. If the antilock 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 does not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. Type A If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. 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. 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. 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. Type B 205 2004 RAV4 from Mar. '04 Prod. (OM42568U)
