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.

METER, ANALOG
Current flow activates a magnetic
coil which causes a needle to
move, thereby providing a relative
display against a background
calibration. LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)
Upon current flow, these diodes
emit light without producing the
heat of a comparable light. IGNITION COIL
Convert low-voltage DC current
into high-voltage ingition current
for firing the spark plugs. 1. SINGLE
FILAMENT
GROUND
The point at which wiring attaches
to the Body, thereby providing a
return path for an electrical circuit;
without a ground, current cannot
flow.
Current flow causes a headlight
filament to heat up and emit light.
A headlight may have either a
single (1) filament or a double (2)
filament. BATTERY
Stores chemical energy and
converts it into electrical energy.
Provides DC current for the auto's
various electrical circuits.
CAPACITOR (Condenser)
A small holding unit for temporary
storage of electrical voltage.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Basically a reusable fuse, a circuit
breaker will heat and open if too
much current flows through it. Some
units automatically reset when cool,
others must be manually reset.
DIODE
A semiconductor which allows
current flow in only one direction.
DIODE, ZENER
A diode which allows current flow
in one direction but blocks reverse
flow only up to a specific voltage.
Above that potential, it passes the
excess voltage. This acts as a
simple voltage regulator.
PHOTODIODE
The photodiode is a semiconductor
which controls the current flow
according to the amount of light.
FUSE
A thin metal strip which burns
through when too much current
flows through it, thereby stopping
current flow and protecting a
circuit from damage.
FUSIBLE LINK
A heavy-gauge wire placed in
high amperage circuits which
burns through on overloads,
thereby protecting the circuit.
The numbers indicate the cross-
section surface area of the wires.HORN
An electric device which sounds a
loud audible signal.
LIGHT
Current flow through a filament
causes the filament to heat up
and emit light.
METER, DIGITAL
Current flow activates one or
many LED's, LCD's, or fluorescent
displays, which provide a relative
or digital display.
MOTOR
A power unit which converts
electrical energy into mechanical
energy, especially rotary motion. CIGARETTE LIGHTER
An electric resistance heating
element.
DISTRIBUTOR, IIA
Channels high-voltage current
from the ignition coil to the
individual spark plugs.2. DOUBLE

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCK SYSTEM
(a) Inspect the differential lock operation.
(1) Use a lift or jack stand to lift up the vehicle so that
all 4 tires can rotate.
(2) Apply the parking brake and start the engine.
(3) Set the center differential lock switch to ON.
(4) Depress the clutch pedal and shift into the 2nd gear.
(5) With the engine idling, gradually engage the clutch
and check that the engine stops.
(6) With the parking brake and engine ON, turn the cen-
ter differential lock switch OFF.
(7) Depress the clutch pedal and shift into the 2nd gear.
(8) With the engine idling, gradually engage the clutch
and check that the front wheels rotate.
HINT:
This inspection must be done when the engine is idling.
(b) Inspect the center differential lock indicator operation.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) Check that when the differential lock switch is
turned ON and OFF, the differential lock indicator
lamp lights up and goes off, respectively.
(c) Inspect the center differential lock warning buzzer opera-
tion.
(1) Start the engine and check that the differential lock
warning buzzer does not sound when the center dif-
ferential lock switch is turned ON.
(2) Interchange the solenoid hose No.1 and solenoid
hose No.2 between the differential lock control sole-
noid No.1 and No.2 and the differential lock actua-
tor. And check that the differential lock warning
buzzer sounds when the differential lock switch is
turned OFF.
(3) Return the solenoid hose No.1 and solenoid hose
No.2 to their original location, and check that the dif-
ferential lock warning buzzer stops.
HINT:
Do the inspection with the vehicle stopped.
After finishing the inspection, inspect the differential lock
control solenoid hoses.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check functioning of the SST.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082−00700
(1) Connect the SST to battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery neg-
ative (−) terminal.
HINT:
Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected
with the supplemental restraint system.
(2) Check functioning of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and confirm the
LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
CAUTION:
If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being
pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not
use the SST.
(b) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel and
steering wheel pad.
(1) Remove the steering column lower cover.
(2) Disconnect the airbag connector of the spiral cable.

(3) Connect the SST connector to the airbag connector
of the spiral cable.
SST 09082−00700
(4) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(5) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(6) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative (+) termi-
nal.
(c) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
(d) Dispose of the steering wheel pad (with airbag).
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
deployed airbag.
(1) When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the steering wheel pad still
installed.
(2) When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
steering wheel pad with deployed airbag, use
gloves and safety glasses.

NOTICE:
The tires may be marked by the airbag deployment, so use
redundant tires.
(f) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(−) terminal.
(2) Confirm that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area
around the disc wheel to which the steering wheel
pad is tied.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
(g) Dispose of the steering wheel pad (with airbag).
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
deployed airbag.
(1) Remove the steering wheel pad from the disc
wheel.
(2) Place the steering wheel pad in a vinyl bag, tie the
end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as oth-
er general parts.
