Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This stop light switch senses whether the brake pedal is depressed or released, and sends a signal to the
ECU.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check that stop light lights up when brake pedal is depressed and turns off when brake pedal is released.
NG Repair stop light circuit (See page BE−2).

2 Check voltage between terminal STP of ABS ECU and body ground.
PREPARATION:
Remove the ABS ECU with connectors still connected.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal STP of the ABS ECU
and body ground when the brake pedal is depressed.
OK:
Voltage: 8 − 14 V
OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
Problem symptoms table (See page DI−245).

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 DTC in memory. After removing the short pin of the DLC1, connect terminals
Tc and E1 of the DLC1 to make the ABS warning light blink and output the DTC.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Troubleshooting in accordance with the chart below for each trouble symptom.
ABS warning light does not light upGo to step 1
ABS warning light remains onGo to step 3
1 Check ABS warning light.
See combination meter troubleshooting on page BE−2.
NG Replace bulb or combination meter assembly.

Check DTC on page DI−234.
YES Repair circuit indicated by code output.
NO
4 Does ABS warning light go off if short pin is removed?
NO Check for short in harness and connector be-
tween warning light and DLC1 and ECU (See
page IN−30).
YES
5 Check ABS control relay (See step No. 2).
NG Replace ABS control relay.
OK
Check for short in harness and connect be-
tween DLC1 and ABS control relay (See page
IN−30).

Tc Terminal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Connecting terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 causes the ECU to display the DTC by flashing the ABS warning
light.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.
CHECK:
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure the voltage between terminals Tc and E1 of the
DLC1.
OK:
Voltage: 10 − 14 V
OK If ABS warning light does not blink even after Tc
and E1 are connected, ECU may be defective.

Ts Terminal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The sensor check circuit detects abnormalities in the speed sensor signal which cannot be detected with
the DTC check. Connecting terminals Ts and E1 of the DLC1 in the engine compartment starts the check.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1.
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure the voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of the
DLC1.
OK:
Voltage: 10 − 14 V
OK If ABS warning light does not blink even after Ts
and E1 are connected, ECU may be defective.
