ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM<br />
NOTE: A “properly connected” ABS-equipped<br />
trailer is<br />
• a trailer with PLC hooked up to the J560 connector.<br />
• a trailer without PLC that is hooked up to an<br />
optional ISO 3731 connector.<br />
NOTE: For doubles or triples: PLC does not distinguish<br />
between trailers. An ABS problem in any<br />
trailer will activate the trailer ABS warning lamp.<br />
2. If an ABS-equipped trailer is properly connected, the<br />
trailer ABS warning lamp will remain illuminated for a<br />
few more seconds while the trailer ABS is tested.<br />
• If no trailer ABS problems are detected, the<br />
lamp will go off.<br />
• If a trailer ABS problem is detected, the lamp<br />
will remain on. The driver should have the<br />
trailer’s ABS problem corrected before the vehicle<br />
is driven with that trailer attached.<br />
STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE<br />
WARNING! Do not rely on an anti-lock brake<br />
system that is functioning improperly. You<br />
could lose control of the vehicle resulting in a<br />
severe accident, causing death or personal<br />
injury. If your ABS lamp goes on while you are<br />
driving or stays on after the self-check, your<br />
anti-lock system might not be working. The<br />
ABS may not function in an emergency. You<br />
will still have conventional brakes, but not<br />
anti-lock brakes. If the lamp indicates a problem,<br />
have the ABS checked.<br />
Wheel Spin Control Warning Lamp<br />
Your ABS may have an acceleration slip regulation (ASR)<br />
or automatic traction control (ATC) feature. Either of these<br />
features is monitored by a wheel spin control warning<br />
lamp. This lamp is located in the warning lamp cluster.<br />
The Wheel Spin Control warning lamp will briefly illuminate<br />
and then go out when the ignition switch is first<br />
turned on. The Wheel Spin Control warning lamp will illuminate<br />
whenever the ASR or ATC system detects drive<br />
wheel spin. The lamp will remain illuminated as long as<br />
wheel spin is detected and the ASR or ATC system is<br />
applying the drive wheel brakes or reducing engine<br />
