knowledge, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic
procedures contained in this section.
•Basic Electrical Circuits - You should understand
the basic theory of electricity and know the meaning
of voltage, current (amps), and resistance (ohms).
You should understand what happens in a circuit
with an open or shorted wire. You should be able to
read and understand a wiring diagram.
Use of Circuit Testing Tools - You should know
how to use a test light and how to bypass
components to test circuits using fused jumper
wires. You should be familiar with a digital
multimeter. You should be able to measure voltage,
resistance, and current, and be familiar with the
controls and how to use them correctly.
ABS SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The ABS 5.3 Antilock Braking System (ABS) consists
of a conventional hydraulic brake system plus antilock
components. The conventional brake system includes
a vacuum booster, master cylinder, front disc brakes,
rear disc brakes, interconnecting hydraulic brake pipes
and hoses, brake fluid level switch and the BRAKE
indicator.
The ABS components include a hydraulic unit, an elec-
tronic brake control module (EBCM), two system fuses,
four wheel speed sensors (one at each wheel), intercon-
necting wiring, the ABS indicator, the EBD indicator
and the TCS indicator. See “ABS Component Locator”
in this section for the general layout of this system.
The hydraulic unit with the attached EBCM is located
between the surge tank and the bulkhead on the left
side of the vehicle.
The basic hydraulic unit configuration consists of hy-
draulic check valves, two solenoid valves for each
wheel, a hydraulic pump, and two accumulators. The
hydraulic unit controls hydraulic pressure to the front
calipers and rear calipers by modulating hydraulic
pressure to prevent wheel lockup.
Units equipped with TCS add two more valves for each
drive wheel for the purpose of applying the brake to a
wheel that is slipping. This is done with pressure from
the hydraulic pump in the unit. There is also a TCS
indicator lamp on the instrument panel to alert the driver
to the fact that the TCS system is active. The
components identified in the drawing are those added
to the basic ABS 5.3 system to provide traction control.
Nothing in the hydraulic unit or the EBCM is serviceable.
In the event of any failure, the entire ABS unit withattached EBCM must be replaced. For more
information, refer to “Base Braking Mode” and
“Antilock Braking Mode” in this section.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
(TCS) DESCRIPTION
General Information
The traction control system (TCS) is a traction system
by means of brake intervention only, available in a low
speed range (< 60kph).
It workes on µ - split roads with sidewise different friction
coefficients.
The spinning driven wheel is braked and the drive
torque can be transferred to the wheel on the high-µ
side. During TCS active, the TCS information lamp is
blinking.
The temperature of the brakes is calculated by a mathe-
matical model and TCS is switched passive if the calcu-
lated temperature is greater than a threshold value (500
°C).
TCS is permitted again, when the calculated tempera-
ture is less than 350 °C.
Control Algorithm
The input signals for the control algorithm are the
filtered wheel speed signals from the ABS speed
processing.
With the speed difference of the driven wheels, the
control deviation is calculated.
If the control deviation exceeds a certain threshold
value, the wheel with the greater slip is braked actively.
The threshold value depends on the vehicle speed:
It is reduced with increasing vehicle speed down to a
constant value.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 27
STOPLAMP SWITCH FAULT
KAA4F230
Circuit Description
When the brake pedal is pressed, the contacts on the
brake light switch close to illuminate the brake lights.
Battery voltage is also applied to terminal 48 of the
elec-tronic brake control module (EBCM), which signals
the ABS controller that the brakes are applied and ABS
may be needed. Without this, signals from a wheel
speed sensor that may indicate the need for ABS
intervention are questionable. When the brake pedal is
not pressed, the EBCM terminal 48 is grounded through
the stoplamps.
Diagnosis
This procedure will check whether there is no output or
constant output from the stoplamp switch and will deter-
mine the cause as a faulty switch or a problem in the
circuitry.Cause(s)
The ground connection or the positive connection
at the EBCM has failed.
There is an open, short to ground, or short to positive
in the vehicle wiring.
The stoplamp switch has failed.
Fail Action
The system records a DTC 27. ABS operation is not
dis-abled.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
12. This step begins the process of troubleshooting
stoplamps that are always on.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring and the connectors carefully and
thoroughly. Failure to do so could result in misdiagnosis,
causing part replacement with the reappearance of the
malfunction.

4G-2 PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BRAKE CALIPER
This braking system uses a BRAKE warning light lo-
cated in the instrument panel cluster.
The following conditions will activate the BRAKE lamp:
•The parking brake is applied when the ignition is
ON. The lamp will turn off when the parking brake
is released.
The fluid level is below the minimum mark in the
master cylinder reservoir. The lamp will turn off when
the fluid level is above the minimum.
As a test of the lamp circuit, the BRAKE lamp will
glow dimly when the ignition is ON, even if the
parking brake is off and fluid level is above the
minimum. The lamp will turn off when the engine is
started. When the brake is firmly applied, the parking
brake should hold the vehicle with ample pedal
travel remaining.
Check for frayed cables, rust, etc. or any condition
that may inhibit present (or future) free movement of
the parking brake lever assembly.

4. Place a fluid container below the fluid filler plug.
5. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug
and check that there is no damage to the ‘O’ ring.
If fluid drains through the filler hole the transmis-
sion may have been overfilled. When the fluid
stops draining the fluid level is correct. Install
the fluid filler plug and tighten it to 33 Nm (24
lb-ft).
If fluid does not drain through the filler hole, the
transmission fluid level may be low. Install the
filler pump into the filler hole. Lower the vehicle
with the filler pump still connected and partially
fill the fluid through the filler hole.
Start the vehicle in P (Park) with the parking
brake and the brake applied. With the engine
idling, move the gear shift. control lever through
the gear ranges, pausing a few seconds in each
range and adding the fluid until gear application
is felt.
Return the gear shift lever to P (Park).
Turn the engine OFF and raise the vehicle. When
the three minutes passed after the engine
stopped, remove the filler pump.
Check if the fluid level is aligned with the bottom
of the filler hole. If not, add a small quantity of
fluid to the correct level. Install the fluid filler
plug and tighten it to 33 Nm (24 lb-ft).
If fluid does not drain through the filler hole al-
though adding a total of 1.5 liters, the transmission
should be inspected for fluid leaks and any leaks
should be fixed before setting the transmission
fluid level.
6. When the fluid level checking procedure is com-
pleted, wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a
rag or shop towel.
Fluid Level Set After Service
1. Depending on the service procedure performed,
add the following amounts of fluid through the filler
plug hole prior to adjusting the fluid level:
Converter empty 8.0 liters (8.5 quarts)
Converter full 3.8 liters (4.0 quarts)
2. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Fluid Level Diagnosis
Procedure.
3. Clean all dirt from around the fluid filler plug.
Remove the fluid filler plug. Clean the filler plug
and check that there is no damage to the ‘O’ ring.
4. Lower the vehicle with the filler pump still connected
and start the vehicle in P (Park) with the parking
brake and the brake applied. With the engine idling,
move the gear shift control lever through the gear
ranges, pausing a few seconds in each range and
adding the fluid until gear application is felt.Then add an additional 0.5 litres of fluid. Return
the gear shift lever to P (Park). Turn the engine OFF
and raise the vehicle. Install the fluid filler plug and
tighten it to 33 Nm (24 lb-ft).
5. Drive the vehicle at 3.5 to 4.5 kilometers with light
throttle so that the engine does not exceed 2500
rpm.
This should result in the transmission temperature
being in the range 50 - 60 °C (82 - 140 °F). With the
brake applied, move the shift lever through the gear
ranges, pausing a few seconds in each range at
the engine idling.
6. Return the gear shift lever to P (Park).
Turn the en-gine OFF and raise the vehicle on the
hoist, if applicable, ensuring the vehicle is level.
When the three minutes passed after the engine
stopped, remove the filler plug.
Check if the fluid level is aligned with the bottom of
the filler hole. If not, add a small quantity of fluid to
the correct level. Install the fluid filler plug and
tighten it to 33 Nm (24 lb-ft).
7. Wipe any fluid around the filler plug with a rag or
shop towel.
FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS AND
REPAIR
The cause of most external leaks can generally be lo-
cated and repaired with the transmission in the vehicle.
Methods for Locating Leaks
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transmission fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15 miles)
or until the transmission reaches normal operating
temperature (88 °C, 190 °F).
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Turn the engine OFF and look for fluid spots on the
paper.
6. Make the necessary repairs to correct the leak.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
2. Apply an aerosol type powder (foot powder) to the
suspected leak area.
3. Drive the vehicle for approximately 25 km (15 miles)
or until the transmission reaches normal operating
temperature (88 °C, 190 °F).
4. Turn the engine OFF.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area and trace the leak
path through the powder to find the source of the
leak.
6. Make the necessary repairs.

Dye and Black Light Method
1. Add dye to the transmission through the transmission
fluid filler plug. Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dation for the amount of dye to be used.
2. Use the black light to find the fluid leak.
3. Make the necessary repairs.
Repairing the Fluid Leak
Once the leak point is found the source of the leak
must be determined. The following list describes the
potential causes for the leak:
Fasteners are not torqued to specification.
Fastener threads and fastener holes are dirty or
corroded.
Gaskets, seals or sleeves are misaligned, damaged
or worn.
Damaged, warped or scratched seal bore or gasket
surface.
Loose or worn bearing causing excess seal or sleeve
wear.
Case or component porosity.
Fluid level is too high.
Plugged vent or damaged vent tube.
Water or coolant in fluid.
Fluid drain back holes plugged.
ELECTRICAL / GARAGE SHIFT
TEST
This preliminary test should be performed before a hoist
or road test to make sure electronic control inputs are
connected and operating. If the inputs are not checked
before operating the transmission, a simple electrical
condition could be misdiagnosed as a major
transmission condition.
A scan tool provides valuable information and must
be used on the automatic transmission for accurate
diagnosis.
1. Move gear shift control lever to P (Park) and set
the parking brake.
2. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC)
terminal.
3. Start engine.
