Control System
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
2. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute.
3. Stop vehicle and start diagnosis.
4. Turn ignition switch "OFF.
5. Ground the self-diagnostic check terminal 4 on the data link
connector for CONSULT.
6. Turn ignition switch "ON" to start the self-diagnostic results
mode.
CAUTION:
Keep terminal 4 grounded during self-diagnosis. Do not
depress brake pedal. Do not start engine. (Self-diagnosis
would
not start.)
When SLlP indicator lamp does not start blinking, check
TCSfABS
control unit power supply circuit and ground
circuit.
7. The SLlP indicator lamp starts blinking to indicate the malfunc-
tion code No.
3 or 4 seconds after the self-diagnostic results
mode is started.
The indication terminates after 5 minutes. Turning the igni-
tion switch from
"OFF" to "ON" resumes blinking the indi-
cation.
During the SLIP indicator lamp operation shown above,
TCS
OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp are lit.
8. Vsrify the location of the malfunction with "MALFUNCTION
CODUSYMPTOM
CHART", BR-36. Then make the necessary
repairs.
9. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction
codes stored
in the control unit. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS on the next page.
10. Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to verify that the mal-
function codes have been erased.
When the malfunction codes have been erased, the start
code is only indicated.
11. Disconnect the check terminal from the ground. The self-diag-
nostic results mode is now complete.
12. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute, and then
check that the
TCS OFF indicator lamp, the SLlP indicator
lamp and the ABS warning lamp are OFF.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
Determine the code No. by observing the time and the fre-
quency that the SLlP indicator lamp flashes ON and OFF.
Refer to the next page.
When multiple malfunctions occur at a time, up to three code
numbers can
be stored; the latest malfunction will be indicated
first.
The indication begins with the start code No. 12. After that a
maximum of three code numbers appear in the order of the
latest one first. The indication then returns to the start code No.
12 to repeat.
The start code No.
12 is only indicated repeatedly when there
is no malfunction.

Fail-safe operation is not activated. A signal from control unit suspends TCS and ABS control operation. Brakes operate
conventionally and the vehicle operates in the same manner as a vehicle without the TCS. After specified battery voltage
resumes, the TCS
OFF indicator lamp and the ABS warning lamp go off, allowing for TCS and ABS control operation.
TCS operation only stops and fail-safe operation is activated, allowing for ABS control operation.
Malfunction is detected only when TCS is in operation.
When there are malfunctions in the self-diagnostic check terminal circuit (terminal
4 of the data link connector for CONSULT)
and SLlP indicator lamp circuit, fail-safe operation is not activated.
Some malfunctions in the
TCS/ABS
control unit cause the SLlP indicator lamp and the
ABS warning lamp to go off sepa-
rately.

SULT 23790 AA500
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
Turn ignition switch OFF and connect CONSULT connector to
data link connector for CONSULT on the vehicle.
sir
Start engine and drive vehicle at approx. 30 kmlh for approx.
1 minute.
Stop vehicle with engine running and touch "START',
Rs
"THROTTLE CONTROL" and "SELF-DIAG RESULTS"
sequentially on the CONSULT screen.
If "START" is touched immediately after engine is started !iIA
or ignition switch is turned on, "THRORLE CONTROL"
may not be displayed on "SELECT
SYSTEM" screen. To a
display "THROTTLE CONTROL", repeat the self-diagnosis
procedure from the beginning.
Self-diagnosis results are displayed on the screen. (Touch 8~ "PRINT" to print out the self-diagnosis results, if necessary.)
If "NO FAIL" is displayed, inspect SLIP indicator lamp, TCS
OFF indicator lamp, and ABS warning lamp. Refer to BR-26.
Perform appropriate inspection from the self-diagnostic results
mode and repair or replace faulty parts.
Start engine and drive vehicle at approx. 30
krn/h for approx.
1 minute to ensure that there is no other malfunction in the
system.
Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the trouble
stored in memory.
Start engine and touch "START', "THROTTLE CONTROL",
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" and "ERASE sequentially on the
CONSULT screen to erase the trouble stored in memory.
If the malfunction stored in memory is not erased, repeat
step
6.
10. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute and then !
confirm that TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp
is OFF.

ELECTRIC SUPER HICAS
INSPECTION BEFORE DRIVING
Check fluid leakage from power steering components (gear, pump, piping, etc.), and check whether the
fluid level is within the proper range.
Check whether tire size and inflation pressure are within the specified limits. Check also whether the
steering wheel is a genuine part, and whether a non-genuine control unit is attached.
Check whether wheel alignment is within the specified limits.
Check whether suspension system is modified, and whether the modification, if any, has increased the
vehicle weight.
INSPECTION DURING DRIVING
Check facts about trouble (what, when, where, who, why and how).
Check whether the engine is running in good condition.
System Description
This system contains two functions for SUPER HICAS: self-diagnosis function and fail-safe function.
For self-diagnosis function, refer to "SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE on pages ST-7 and
ST-12.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If the system detects some error, it halts the normal control and enters the fail-safe mode.
In this event, the system notifies the driver of a malfunction by turning ON the HICAS warning lamp.
The fail-safe mode is canceled when ignition switch
is turned OFF. If, however, the fail-safe mode is caused
by a vehicle speed signal error, it is automatically canceled when the signal is restored before the ignition
switch is turned OFF.
HICAS WARNING LAMP
When the system is in normal condition, HICAS warning lamp is turned ON by switching the ignition ON, and
is turned OFF after engine has started.
