6. INSPECTOR
Before advancing the vehicle after the engine starts, drive
the pump motor and valve for a very short time to function-
ally check the ABS/TCS brakes. It is not abnormal if, at this
time, operating noises of the valve and motor are produced
or kickback of the brake pedal is felt when stepping on the
pedal.
7. WHEN ATTACHING CHAINS
It is sometimes a good idea to turn off the TCS for better
advancing and accelerating the vehicle.
8. WHEN A DRUM TESTER IS USED (SPEEDOMETER
TEST, EXHAUST GAS TEST, BRAKE TEST, ETC.)
Before performing tests, turn the TCS off by operating the
TCS OFF switch or disconnect the fuse of ECM input
power source to put the machine out of operation. If oper-
ating other parts to put the TCS in the fail state
intentionally, trouble code will be recorded. Make sure to
clear the memory. Also, in a 2-wheel tester, wheel speed
sensor failure can be detected, making the TCS fail. This
case is also not abnormal and clearing the memory is
required.

B: CHECK LIST FOR INTERVIEW
Check the following items about the vehicle’s state.
1. THE STATE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS
a. ABS warning light
1Is always on.2Sometimes comes on.3Comes on only once.4Does not come on.
When/how long does it come on?
Ignition key
position
1Lock2Acc3On (before starting engine)4Start5On after starting (Engine: run)
6On after starting (Engine: stop)
Timing
1Immediately after ignition is on.2Immediately after ignition starts.
3When advancing (Speedmiles/h,miles/h)4While traveling at a constant speed (Speedmiles/h)
5When decelerating (Speedmiles/h,miles/h)
6When turning (To right, to left, steering angledeg., steering timesec)
7When moving other electrical parts (Part name:, Operating condition)
2. SYMPTOMS
ABS operating
condition1Performs no work.2Operates only when abruptly applying brakes. (Conditions: vehicle speedmiles/h, how to step
on brake pedal)
3Operating time (sec., etc.)4Operating noise (Produced/Not produced)
5What kind of noise? (Knock, gong gong, bong, buzz, gong gong buzz, etc.)
6Reaction force of brake pedal (Stick, pressed down once with a clunk, pressed and released, etc.)
Behavior of
vehicle
1Directional stability cannot be obtained or steering arm refuses to work when applying brakes (vehicle turns to right, turns
to left, spins, etc.).
2Directional stability cannot be obtained or steering arm refuses to work when accelerating (vehicle turns to right, turns to
left, spins, etc.).
3Brakes are out of order (braking distance is long, brakes lock or drag, pedal stroke is long, pedal sticks, etc.).
4Poor acceleration (fails to accelerate, engine stalls, etc.).
5Vibration, abnormal noise (operating noise is loud, noise is produced during operation from the front of vehicle (right, left)
(tones:), noise is produced during operation from the rear of vehicle (tones:, others)
6Other phenomena (concrete symptoms)
3. CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH TROUBLE OCCURS
Environment1Weather (fine, cloudy, rain, snow, etc.)
2Ambient temperature (°C/°F)
3Road (urban area, suburbs, highway, general road, ascending slope, descending slope, paved road, gravel road, muddy
road, sandy place, etc.)
4Road surface (dry, wet, new-fallen snow, compressed snow, frozen slope, etc.)
Conditions
1Brakes (decelerationg, continuous/intermittent)2Accelerator (accelerationg, continuous/intermittent)
3Travel speed (miles, advancing, accelerating, reducing speed, low speed, turning, etc.)
4Condition of tire of each wheel (air pressure, degree of wear, whether or not genuine parts are used, whether
or not chain is passed around tires, whether or not T tire is used.) others ()
