Faulty ABS operation Unequal braking power on both s ides7
Insufficient braking power
ABS operates under normal braking conditions
ABS operates before vehicle stops under normal
braking conditions
Large brake pedal vibration (Caution 2.)
Caution
1.if steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of thi s, when getting information from the customer,
check if the occurred driving under such conditions as these.
2.During ABS operation, changes in the feeling of the brake (vibration may occur or
may not be able to be depressed). Such changes are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic
pressure inside the brake line to prevent the from locking, and is considered normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3When ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped ),
ABS warning light does not illuminate
[Comment]When power is supplied to the ABS-ECU, the valve relay changes from to ON by the initial check, and thus even if there is a problem with the circuit between
ABS light and ABS-ECU, the light will illuminate once when the valve relay
is OFF.
Accordingly, the cause of the light not illuminatin g is probably an open circuit in the
light power circuit, a blown light bulb, or an open circuit in both the circuit between
the ABS
light and the ABS-ECU and the circuit between the ABS light and the ABS valve relay.When other lights also do not illuminate, the cause is probably a blown fuse.

Inspecting Wave Forms With An Oscilloscope
Use the following method to observe the output volt age wave
form from each wheel sensor with an oscilloscope
l
Start the engine, and rotate the front wheels by en gaging
gear (vehicles with manual transaxle) or range
(vehicles with automatic transaxle). Turn the rear wheels
manually so that they rotate at a constant speed.
NOTE
1. Check the connection of the sensor harness and
connector before using the oscilloscope.
2. The wave form measurements can also be taken whi le
the vehicle is actually moving.
3. The output voltage will be low when the wheel sp eed
is low, and similarly it will be higher as the whee l speed
increases.

force tester.
Caution
1.The roller of the braking force tester and the tire
be dry during testing.
2.When testing the front brakes, apply the parking
brake, and when testing the rear brakes, stop the
front by chocking them.
2.Release the parking brake, and feel the drag force (drag
torque) on each road wheel.. __
When using the braking force tester, take a reading of’
the brake drag force.
3. Turn the ignition key to ‘the OFF position and
scan tool as shown in the diagram.
4.After checking that the shift lever or
lever is in neutral, start the engine.
NOTE
1.At this time, the ABS system will switch scan
