GENERAL ± How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-9
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

2. Indicates inspection carried out using the
MUT-II.
Indicates the operation and inspection proce-
dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, ªCheck harness between power supply and terminal xxº also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to ªInspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.º
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

on for 15 minutes or more although the ABS is not operating)

When the ABS-ECU determines that there is an open circuit in harness of the
stop lamp switch system.

Communication with MUT-II is not possible.
(Communication with all systems is not possible.)
Probable cause
The reason is probably a defect in the power supply system (including earth) for
the diagnosis line.

Refer to GROUP 13A ± Troubleshooting.
Inspection Procedure 2
Communication with MUT-II is not possible.
(Communication with ABS only is not possible.)

ABS <2WD> ± Troubleshooting35B-16
Inspection Procedure 3
When ignition key is turned to ºONº (engine stopped),
ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
When current flows in the ABS-ECU, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and
back to on again as the initial check. So the ABS warning lamp will illuminate twice
when the valve relay is off even if there is a problem with the circuit between the
ABS warning lamp and the ABS-ECU.
Therefore, if the lamp does not illuminate, the cause may be: an open circuit in the
lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp bulb, an open circuit in both the circuit between
the ABS warning lamp and the ABS-ECU and in the circuit between the ABS warning
lamp and the valve relay.
