      When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS warning light and BRAKE warning light goes on for approximately 3 seconds.

      NOTE:
      • When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light lights up.
      • If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to the troubleshooting for the ABS warning light circuit or BRAKE warning light circuit (See ABS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT  or BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT ).
      • Check the ABS1 fuse, ABS2 fuse and ABS actuator assembly.
    3. In case of not using TOYOTA hand-held tester:

      Check the DTC.

      1. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and CG of the DLC3.

        SST 09843-18040

      2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      3. Read the DTC from the ABS warning light on the combination meter.
        NOTE:
        • If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS warning light circuit (See Tc TERMINAL CIRCUIT  or ABS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT ).
        • As an example, the blinking patterns of normal code and codes 11 and 21 are shown in the left.

      4. Codes are detailed in the code table on DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .
      5. After completing the check, disconnect terminals Tc and CG from the DLC3, and turn the display off.

      If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time, the lowest numbered DTC will be displayed first.

    4. In case of using TOYOTA hand-held tester:

      Check the DTC.

      1. Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.

    6. In case of using TOYOTA hand-held tester:

      Clear the DTC.

      1. Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      3. Operate the TOYOTA hand-held tester to erase the codes (See TOYOTA hand-held tester operator's manual).
    7. Freeze Frame Data 
      1. The vehicle (sensor) status at the occurrence of abnormality of the diagnosis code and during the ABS operating can be memorized and displayed using the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
      2. Only one record of freeze frame data is stored, however, freeze frame data during the ABS operating is always up-dated. After the storage of freeze frame data, up to 31 ignition "ON" operations are stored and displayed.
        NOTE: If the ignition switch "ON" operation exceeds 31 times, "31" appears on the display.
      3. If the diagnosis code abnormality occurs, the freeze frame data at the occurrence of the abnormality is stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted.
      FREEZE FRAME DATA

      Hand-held tester display Measurement Item Reference Value (1)
      G (BACK & FORTH) Back and forth G (Only for 4WD) -1.5 - 1.5
      VEHICLE SPD Vehicle speed Speed indication of a meter
      SPD GRADE Vehicle speed grade (Only for 2WD) -1.5 - 1.5
      STOP LIGHT SW Stop light switch signal Stop light switch ON: ON, OFF: OFF
      #IG ON Numbers of operations of ignition switch ON after memorizing freeze frame data 0 - 31
      (1) If no conditions are specifically stated for "Idling", it means the shift lever is at N or P position, the A/C switch is OFF and all accessory switches are OFF.
  2. Speed Sensor Signal 
    1. In case of not using TOYOTA hand-held tester:

      Check the speed sensor signal.

      1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
      2. Using SST, connect terminals Ts and CG of the DLC3.

      3. Start the engine.
      4. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.
        NOTE: If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning light circuit (See ABS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT ).
      5. Drive the vehicle straight forward.
        NOTE: Drive the vehicle at more than 45 km/h (28 mph) for several seconds.
      6. Stop the vehicle.
      7. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and CG of the DLC3.

      8. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.
        NOTE:
        • See the DTC list shown on the next page.
        • If each sensor is normal, the normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).
        • If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
      9. After doing the check, disconnect the SST from terminals Ts, Tc and CG of the DLC3, and turn the ignition switch OFF.
