1. Turn your ignition *on*

2. In the diagnostics port, unplug the short connector from the bottom right (it's a bit of metal that joins two pins)

3. Use a jumper wire on pins TC and E1

4. Your ABS warning light will now behave like the check engine light, as in:

 

"If system is functioning properly, ABS light will flash 2 times per second. If a malfunction is detected, 4 seconds will elapse, then ABS light will begin flashing 2-digit DTC.

ABS light will flash first digit of DTC, followed by a 1.5-second pause, then second digit of DTC. If 2 or more DTCs are stored, a 2.5-second pause will separate DTCs. After all DTCs are flashed, there will be a 4-second pause, then all DTCs will repeat."

 

('DTC' being the error code)

 

See if you have any stored codes - post 'em up if you do and I'll look up the errors.
