CHECK ABSCM.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform inspection mode.
4) Read out the trouble code.

B: CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT
OPERATION

1) Do ABS sequence control patterns take place in correct
order?
If not, check wiring and piping for incorrect connections.
2) Are oil pressure or braking force variations within speci-
fications?
If not, check master cylinder, brake piping, hydraulic unit,
proportioning valve and wheel cylinder for improper opera-
tion.
3) Does pedal hardness change before and after ABS
sequence control?
If so, bleed air from brake line.

2. CRUISE CANCEL CONDITIONS DIAGNOSIS
1) Connect select monitor.
2) Start the engine and turn cruise control main switch to
ON.
3) Set select monitor in“FB0”mode.
4) Drive vehicle at least 40 km/h (25 MPH) with cruise
speed set.
5) If cruise speed is canceled itself (without doing any
cancel operations), a trouble code will appear on select
monitor display.
CAUTION:

A trouble code will also appear when cruise cancel
is effected by driver. Do not confuse.

Have a co-worker ride in vehicle to assist in diagno-
sis during driving.
NOTE:
Trouble code will be cleared by turning ignition switch or
cruise control main switch to OFF.
3. REAL-TIME DIAGNOSIS
1) Connect select monitor.
2) Turn ignition switch and cruise control main switch to
ON.
3) Set select monitor in“FA 0”mode.
4) Ensure that normal indication is displayed when con-
trols are operated as indicated below:

When SET/COAST switch is pressed.

When RESUME/ACCEL switch is pressed.

When brake pedal is depressed. (Stop and brake switch
turns ON.)

When clutch pedal is depressed. (MT model)

When select lever is set to N position. (AT model)
