MATRIX CHART OF PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
Proceed to the reference page shown in the matrix chart below for each malfunction symptom and troubleshoot
for each circuit.
HINT: Troubleshooting of the theft deterrent system is based on the premise that the door lock control system
is operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the theft deterrent system, first make certain that the
door lock control system is operating normally.

ABS Warning Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If the ECU detects trouble, it lights the ABS warning light while at the same time prohibiting ABS control.
At this time, the ECU records a diagnostic trouble code in memory.
After removing the short pin of the DLC1, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 or DLC2 to make the
ABS warning light to blink and output the diagnostic trouble code.

If a malfunction code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble code check, check the circuit listed for that code
in the table below and proceed to the relevant page.
HINT: If the TRAC indicator light lights up and the TRAC indicator light does not blink when the DTC is checked,
check the blinking pattern of the ABS warning light and troubleshoot the ABS system.
*
1: If a malfunction is detected in ABS the TRAC OFF indicator light lights up instead of the TRAC indicator
light.
*
2: The TRAC indicator light does not light up even if an error is detected
*3: If a malfunction is detected, the TRAC OFF indicator light lights up instead of the TRAC indicator light.
*4: Depending on the malfunction, the TRAC indicator light does not light up. BR±128

There are some maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's re-
sponsibility. They can be performed by the owner
or be can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be
checked on a daily basis, those which, in most
cases, do not require (special) tools and those
which are considered to be reasonable for the
owner to perform. Items and procedures for gen-
eral maintenance are as follows:
OUTSIDE VEHICLE
1. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge. Adjust if
necessary.
(b) Check for cuts, damage, uneven or excessive
wear.
2. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for
looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not
wipe clean. Replace if necessary.
4. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or
other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak,
have the cause found and corrected.
5. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors including the trunk lid
operate smoothly, and that all latches lock
securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch
secures the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
INSIDE VEHICLE

(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
11. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that the air comes out from the defrost-
er outlet when operating the heater air condi-
tioner at defroster mode.
12. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
13. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are
mounted securely.
14. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be
alert for changes in steering condition, such
as excessive steering effort, excessive free-
play or strange noise.
15. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat
adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. operate
smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any
position.
(c) Check that the locks hold securely in any
latched position.
(d) Check that the head restraints move up and
down smoothly and that the locks hold
securely in any latched position.
(e) For folding±down rear seat backs, check that
the latches lock securely.
16. SEAT BELTS
