VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL WARNING LIGHT / VEHICLE DY- NAMICS CONTROL OP- ERATION INDICATOR LIGHT
Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light s03ae14
s03ae1401
CAUTION
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system provides its ABS control through the electrical circuit of the ABS. Accordingly, if the ABS is inoperative, the Vehicle Dynamics Control system becomes unable to provide ABS control. As a result, the Vehicle Dynamics Control system becomes inoperative, causing the warning light to illuminate. Although both the Vehicle Dynamics Control and ABS are inoperative in this case, the ordinary functions of the brake system are still available. You will be safe while driving in this condition, but drive carefully and have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE
. If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle Dynamics Control system itself malfunctions, the warning light only illuminates. At this time, the ABS( Antilock Brake System) remains fully operational.
. The warning light illuminates when the electronic control system of the ABS / Vehicle Dynamics Control system malfunctions.
. The Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light, ABS warning light, and brake system warning light illuminate simultaneously if the EBD system malfunctions. For further details of the EBD
system malfunction warning, refer to“ Electronic Brake Force Distribution( EBD) system warning” FP190.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably inoperative under any of the following conditions. Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer immediately.
. The warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the“ ON” position.
. The warning light illuminates while the vehicle is running.
NOTE
If the warning light behavior is as described in the following examples, the Vehicle Dynamics Control system may be considered normal.
. The warning light illuminates right after the engine is started but turns off immediately and remains off.
. The warning light illuminates after the engine has started and turns off while the vehicle is subsequently being driven.
. The warning light illuminates during driving, but turns off immediately and remains off.
Vehicle Dynamics Control operation indicator light s03ae1402
The indicator light flashes during activation of the skid suppression function and during activation of the traction control function.
NOTE
. The light may remain illuminated for a short period of time after the engine has been started, especially in cold weather. This does not indicate the existence of a problem. The light should turn off as soon as the engine has warmed up.
. The indicator light illuminates when the engine has developed a problem and the CHECK ENGINE warning light / malfunction indicator light is on.
