Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT 
    1. Is DTC output for ABS and VSC?

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE CHART

    Result Proceed to
    DTC is not output A
    DTC is output B

    B: REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR 
    1. Check the ECU connector's connecting condition.

      OK: 

      The connector should be securely connected. 

    NG: CONNECT CONNECTOR CORRECTLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT BATTERY 
    1. Check the battery voltage.

      Voltage: 

      11 to 14 V 

    NG: INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (IG1 TERMINAL) 
    1. WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
      2. Start the engine.
      3. Select the DATA LIST mode on the intelligent tester.
        DATA LIST REFERENCE CHART

        Item Measurement Item /Range (Display) Normal Condition
        IG VOLTAGE ECU power supply voltage / UNDER / NORMAL NORMAL: 9.5 V or over
        UNDER: Below 9.5 V
      4. Check the voltage condition output from the ECU displayed on the intelligent tester.

        OK: 

        "Normal" is displayed. 

    2. WHEN NOT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
      1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    NG: Go to step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK VSC WARNING LIGHT 
    1. WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 and start the engine.
      2. Select the item "VSC WARN LIGHT" in the ACTIVE TEST and operate the VSC warning light on the intelligent tester.
      3. Check that "ON" and "OFF" of the VSC warning light can be shown on the combination meter by the intelligent tester.
    2. WHEN NOT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER:
      1. Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the connector S1 from the skid control ECU.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      3. Check that the VSC warning light goes off.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE ABS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT 

    OK: REPLACE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S1-32 (GND1) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      NOTE: When replacing ABS & TRACTION actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION  ).

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR
