NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
The Phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
Phenomenon Explanation of phenomenon
System check sound When starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be hear
coming from inside the engine compartment, but this is because the
system operation check is being performed, and is not an abnormality.
ABS operation sound 1.
Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation (whine).
2.
Sound is generated along with vibration of the brake pedal (scraping)
3.
When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis
due to repeated brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension: squeak: tyres)
ABS operation (Long braking
distance)For road surfaces suck as snow-covered roads a gravel roads, the
braking distance for vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than
that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer to drive safely
on suck roads by lowering the vehicle speed and not being to
overconfident.
Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending on the diagnosis code.
Make sure that checking requirements listed in the “Comment” are satisfied when checking the trouble
symptom again.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION35201120351
DIAGNOSIS CODES CHECK
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-II or ABS warning
lamp. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Trouble-
shooting/Inspection Service Points.)
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
With the MUT-II
Refer to GROUP 00 – How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

When diagnostic trouble codes (Nos. 21 to 24) (for vehicle wheel speed sensor system failures) occur,
normal MUT-II operation may not erase those codes. In that case, erase the diagnostic trouble codes
using the following procedures.
1.
Perform erasing of the diagnostic trouble codes by special operation of the brake pedal. (See erasing
procedure for the diagnostic trouble codes without use of the MUT-II.)
2.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3.
Perform erasing of the diagnostic trouble codes by use of the MUT-II.

lamp will return to normal.
(2) If the vehicle has a discharged battery it will store the fault codes 41 or 42. When these diagnosis codes are
displayed, check the battery.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE CLASSIFIED BY DIAGNOSIS CODE
Code No. 21,22, 61 or 62 Driver’s side air bag module
(squib) systemProbable cause
These diagnosis codes are output if there is abnormal resistance between the
input terminals of the driver’s side air bag module (squib).
The trouble causes for each diagnosis code No. are as follows.·
Malfunction of clock spring
·
Open-circuit in clock spring due to inappropriate neutral
position.
·
Malfunction of wiring harnesses or connectors
·
Malfunction of driver’s side air bag module (squib)
·
Malfunction of SRS-ECU
Code No. Trouble symptoms
