3. CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF ABS
SEQUENCE CONTROL
When the following conditions develop, the ABS sequence
control stops and ABS and TCS warning lights come on
while the ABS and TCS function will then stop. The brake
system functions as a conventional brake system.
1) When the speed of at least one wheel reaches 10 km/h
(6 MPH).
2) When terminal No.4 is separated from ground. (When
select monitor is not used.)
3) When the brake pedal is released during sequence con-
trol and the braking lamp switch is set to off.
4) After completion of the sequence control.
5) When malfunction is detected.
NOTE:
When malfunction has been detected and the ABS
sequence control operation has stopped, the trouble codes
are stored in memory.

E: CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT TCS
OPERATION
1. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT TCS
OPERATION BY PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up vehicle and remove wheels.
2) Disconnect the air bleeder screws from the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
B4M0633A
3) Connect two pressure gauges to the FL and FR caliper
bodies.
CAUTION:

Pressure gauges used exclusively for brake fluid
must be used.

Do not employ pressure gauge previously used for
transmission since the piston seal is expanded which
may lead to malfunction of the brake.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.
4) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
5) Perform sequence control.
6) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, and first the FL
side performs compression, holding, and decompression,
and then the FR side performs compression, holding, and
decompression.
7) Read values indicated on the pressure gauge and
check if the fluctuation of the values between compression
and decompression meets the standard values. Also check
if any irregular brake pedal tightness is felt.

2) Set the front wheels on the brake tester and set the
select lever’s position at“neutral”.
3) Operate the brake tester.
4) Perform sequence control. [W20F2].>
5) Hydraulic unit begins to work; and check the following
working sequence.
The front left wheel performs compression, holding,
and decompression in sequence, and subsequently the
front right wheel repeats the cycle.
6) Read values indicated on the brake tester and check if
the fluctuation of values, when decompressed and
compressed, meet the standard values.

F: TCS SEQUENCE CONTROL
1) Under the TCS sequence control, after the hydraulic
unit solenoid valve is driven, the operation of the hydraulic
unit can be checked by means of the brake tester or pres-
sure gauge.
2) TCS sequence control can be started by diagnosis con-
nector or select monitor.

1. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES OF THE TCS
SEQUENCE CONTROL WITH DIAGNOSIS
CONNECTOR
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to terminal No. 4 of the
diagnosis connector beside driver seat heater unit.
2) Ignition switch is turned to ON.
3) Make sure only the start code (code 11) is shown in
normal condition.
NOTE:
When trouble codes are stored in memory, repair the faulty
parts.
4) Set the speed of all wheels at 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
5) Turn ignition switch OFF.
6) Start engine, and within 0.5 seconds after the ABS
warning light and TCS warning light go out, press TCS OFF
switch. Within 1.0 second thereafter, release and press the
switch again. Then, keep the switch pressed.
NOTE:

When the TCS sequence control is set to on, the brake
pedal must not be depressed.

Engine must operate.

When TCS OFF switch is not depressed within 0.5 sec-
onds after ABS and TCS warning lights turn off, the trouble
code mode comes on.
7) After completion of TCS sequence control, turn ignition
switch OFF.
