TROUBLESHOOTING
How to proceed with troubleshooting
Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure on the followin\
g pages.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Using the customer problem analysis check sheet for reference, ask the c\
ustomer in as much detail as
possible about the problem.
CHECK AND CLEAR THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (PRECHECK)
If the ABS warning light lights up, and the ABS does not operate, the ECU \
stores diagnostic trouble codes
corresponding to the problem in memory.
Before confirming the trouble, 1st check the diagnostic trouble codes for any \
malfunction codes stored in
memory. When there are malfunction codes, make a note of them, then clear them \
and proceed to ª  Prob-
lem Symptom Confirmationº.
 PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION,  SYMPTOM SIMULATION
Confirm the problem symptoms. If the problem does not reoccur, simulate the problem by initially checking
the circuits indicted by the diagnostic trouble code in step , using ªProblem simulation methodº.
 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Check the diagnostic trouble codes. If a malfunction code is output, proceed \
to ª  Diagnostic Trouble
Code Chartº. If the normal code is output, proceed to ª  Problem Symptoms Chartº. Be sure to proceed
to ª  diagnostic Trouble Code Chartº after steps and  are completed.
If troubleshooting is attempted only by following the malfunction code sto\
red in the memory, errors could
be made in the diagnosis.
 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
If a malfunction code is confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code check,\
proceed to the inspection proce-
dure indicated by the matrix chart for each diagnostic trouble code.
 PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART
If the normal code is confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code check, perf\
orm inspection in accordance with
the inspection order in the problem symptoms chart.
 CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Proceed with diagnosis of each circuit in accordance with the inspection\
order confirmed in  and .
Determine whether the cause of the problem is in the sensor, actuators, wire harness and connectors or
the ECU.
\b SENSOR CHECK
Use the ABS warning light to check if each of the signals from speed sensors are being input correctly to
the ECU. Instructions for this check are given in the circuit inspection.
[10] REPAIRS
After the cause of the problem is located, perform repairs by following the i\
nspection and replacement pro-
cedures in this manual.
[11] CONFIRMATION TEST After completing repairs, confirm not only that the malfunction is eliminated\
, but also conduct a test drive
to make sure the entire ABS system is operating correctly. (In vehicles with the TRAC system, also check
the TRAC system.)

SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Using SST, connect terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1.SST 09843±18020
3. Start the engine.
4. Check that the ABS warning light blinks. HINT: If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS
warning light circuit (see page BR±144).
5. Drive vehicle straight forward. HINT: Drive vehicle faster than 45 km/h (28 mph) for several
seconds.
6. Stop the vehicle.
7. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light. HINT: See the list of diagnosis trouble codes shown on the
next page.
If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output (A cycle of
0.25 sec. on and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).
If 2 or more malfunction are indicated at the same time, the
lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.
9. After performing the check, disconnect terminals Ts and E1,Tc and E1 of DLC1, and ignition switch turned off.

ECU DATA MONITOR USING LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER
1. Hook up the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC2.
2. Monitor the ECU data by following the prompts on the testerscreen.
HINT: LEXUS hand±held tester has a ªSnapshotº function
which records the monitored data.
Please refer to the LEXUS hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
