Circuit Description
The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) controls the operation of the amber ABS indicator lamp by means of a lamp driver module.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the EBCM turns ON the ABS indicator for 3 seconds for a bulb check. Whenever a malfunction is detected within the ABS system, the EBCM turns ON the ABS indicator, notifying the driver that ABS needs to be serviced.

If The following are possible causes of the malfunction:
^ A short to ground in the ABS indicator control circuit.
^ A malfunctioning lamp driver module.
^ An internal EBCM malfunction.
If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections.
