1995 TOYOTA SUPRA check engine light

4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure the
pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
w/o TRAC: More than 72 mm (2.83 in.)
w/ TRAC: More than 70 mm (2.76 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake
system.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATIONAL TEST
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine off
and check that there is no change in the pedal reserve
distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the pedal
goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress the
brake pedal several times slowly. If the pedal goes down
farthest the 1st time, but gradually rises after the 2nd or 3rd
time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running, and
stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there is no
change in the pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal for
30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
HINT: If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the
brake lines is suspected, bleed the system of air.
NOTICE: Do not let brake fluid remain on painted sur-
faces. Wash it off immediately.
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR CAP
Turn the reservoir cap to the ºopenº side and remove it.
2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Fluid:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO.116 DOT3

SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch 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:
wIf the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS
warning light circuit (See page BR±107).
wIf the ABS warning light is always on, inspect and repair
the IG1 terminal of lateral acceleration sensor.
5. Drive the 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 diagnostic 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 malfunctions are indicated at the same time, the
lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
9. After doing the check, disconnect terminals Ts and E1, Tc and
E1 of DLC1, and turn ignition switch OFF. BR±62

Ts Terminal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The sensor check circuit detects abnormalities in the speed sensor signal which cannot be detected with the
diagnostic trouble code check.
Connecting terminals Ts and E1 of the DLC1 in the engine compartment starts the check.
Check for open and short in harness and connector between ABS (&TRAC)
ECU and DLC1, DLC1 and body ground (See page IN±30).
Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of
DLC1.
Voltage: 10 ± 14 V
If ABS warning light does not blink even
after Ts and E1 are connected, the ECU may
be defective.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace ABS (& TRAC) ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
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

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If trouble in the engine control system causes the malfunction indicator light to light up, this information is trans-
mitted from the ECM to the TRAC ECU. The TRAC ECU may prohibit TRAC control as a result.

out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
4. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER
5. VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND LISTEN
FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the generator
while the engine is running.
6. CHECK CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ºONº. Check that the charge warning
light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off. If the light does
not go off as specified, troubleshoot the charge light circuit.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT: If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the
tester to the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and ammeter
to the charging circuit as follows:
wDisconnect the wire from terminal B of the generator,
and connect it to the negative (±) probe of the ammeter.
± CHARGING SYSTEMON±VEHICLE INSPECTIONCH±5

wConnect the positive (+) probe of the ammeter to
terminal B of the generator.
wConnect the positive (+) probe of the voltmeter to
terminal B of the generator.
wGround the negative (±) probe of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check the
reading on the ammeter and voltmeter:
Standard amperage:
10 A or less
Standard voltage:
At 25°C (77°F)
13.6±14.8 V
At 115°C (239°F)
S13.2±14.0 V
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, re-
place the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage, check
the voltage regulator and generator as follows:
wWith terminal F grounded, start the engine and check
the voltmeter reading of terminal B.
wIf the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage,
replace the voltage regulator.
wIf the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage,
check the generator.
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high beam
headlights and place the heater blower switch at ºHIº.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard amperage,
repair the generator.
HINT: If the battery is fully charged, the indication will some-
times be less than standard amperage.
